Researcher on aeroelasticity of Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES)
-
Sep 2019 - Present
Active research into the aeroelastic aspects of Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES). The topics range from purely aerodynamic analysis to that aeroelastic by including the structural problem. The main goal is to understand these phenomena when applied to soft and rigid kites to enhance their performance and, consequently, electrical power delivered.

Just after finishing my first Master’s academic year, Airbus Puerto Real requested my support and Alten provided me with the chance to work for them. Short but intensive period in which I developed similar but more advanced tasks than during the previous Airbus’ intership.

Internship Trainee

Dec 2016 - Aug 2017
I worked in the production department (Work Preparation Team of the Airbus A350), specifically, with automatic drilling machines called Tricepts. Principally, processes monitoring and improvement were carried out regarding OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). Daily tasks were mostly related to data analysis and root cause analyses for continuous improvement.

Competitive Scholarship (Spanish Government beca de colaboración) in Aerodynamic laboratory
-
Sep 2015 - Aug 2017
2-year scholarship covering the third and fourth years of my Bachelor's degree. The main focus was on the instrumentation and readiness of the aerodynamic wind tunnel. Additionally, an efficient ramp pump was built to be tested and used in fluid mechanics courses. 2-year scholarship covering the third and fourth years of my Bachelor's degree.
