Hardware The thermal path
My career began where physics meets spaceflight: designing and analyzing thermal control systems for aerospace hardware. I built detailed SINDA/FLUINT and Thermal Desktop models to predict orbital and transient temperature profiles, and drove every design through ECSS verification. Along the way I modelled mechanical enclosures in Rhino and Fusion 360 — learning that a component which survives on paper must also survive machining, assembly and launch.
