Gleb Popkov
Chief of Assembly & Structures @ Astrix - Student Space Exploration
About
I am a Mechanical Engineering and Robotics student at HKUST focused on the intersection of structural design and system control. During my Robotics internship at Hanson Robotics, I developed ROS-based AI pipelines for Sophia the Robot, implementing deep learning models using PyTorch and YOLO to bridge the gap between perception and physical hardware. As the Chief of Assembly and Structures for Astrix (HKUST CanSat), I lead the structural engineering and precision prototyping of aerospace hardware. My technical work is centered on the transition from mechanical design to software control—combining FEA and topology optimization in SolidWorks with programming to achieve high-precision control in mechatronic systems.

Experience

Private Tutor
I tutor students of all ages, assisting them in enhancing their understanding of Mathematics, the Natural Sciences and Economics. My approach emphasises on developing a strong conceptual understanding of the required material, applying theoretical knowledge to the real world, as well as equipping students with practical exam techniques.

Robotics Intern
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR
In this role, I was introduced to how it is that such a firm operates, had learnt how to operate and set up SBC's, as well as creating multimodal systems that include ESC's, microphones and cameras, as well as how it is that these are paired with deep learning models.

HK ASME Student Design Competition - Team Member
HONG KONG SAR, China
Collaborated with a team of 4, focusing on the mechanical design, material selection and vehicle kinematics of a vehicle harvesting solar and wind energy to most effectively transport load.

Chief Financial Officer - Junior Achievement Hong Kong
Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR
In this experience I was assigned the position of CFO in a business that produced Hong Kong themed gifts. Our company created, manufactured and sold a product to consumers, which was later to be sold at the JA Fair, competing against other schools. Our firm was highly successful, earning us over 20,000HKD in profit.

Treasurer - Student Representative Council
Hong Kong SAR
I was part of the Student Representative Council for two consecutive years. I was in charge of the financial aspect of the council, making sure that there was enough funding for fairs, events etc. I was also in charge of allocating the earned funds towards various charities.
