  Analysing the effect of combustion instabilities in a sub-scale combustion chamber on measured heat flux within the chamber. Making use of test-data sets obtained through engine firings, finding or disproving a correlation can prove a crucial step into predicting combustion chamber loads and thus safety and efficiency of future rocket launchers.

  ESTCube-2 is a technology demonstration mission for deorbiting technology plasma brake, the interplanetary propulsion system electric solar wind sail (E-sail) and advanced satellite subsystem solutions. My function in this mission was that of structural engineer, being responsible for modeling the satellite structure and performing vibrational analysis in Femap with NX Nastran software. This was done to ensure the success of ESTCube 2 during launch while giving me the opportunity to learn completely new software and deal with the responsibility of delivering quality work for a real design.
