EDUCATION & QUALIFICATIONS
10/2007-09/2008 Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, UK
MSc Astronautics and Space Engineering
Main subjects include propulsion, orbits, communications, structure, data handling, etc.
Group design project: “In-orbit servicing”
The purpose of the project was to define a system design for a spacecraft to be “serviceable” on-orbit and its servicing vehicle. Working within a team of twelve, the project involved reviews including one with representatives of the space industry.
Individual research project: “Planetary in-situ resource utilisation demonstrator”
This project examines what may be required from ISRU and what future missions would be enabled by different ISRU approaches. The research addresses the similarities and differences between Lunar and Martian ISRU, and includes an outline design for a demonstrator mission.
09/2005-06/2007 Ecole Centrale Lyon (ECL), FRANCE
One of the most prestigious institutes of engineering in France. I expect to graduate a diplôme d’ingénieur généraliste de l’Ecole Centrale de Lyon (equivalent to a taught MSc in non-specialized engineering) in 2008.
Group project: experimental rocket
Working in a group of five students to design and realize an experimental rocket for a project at the Ecole Centrale Lyon. I was responsible for the mechanical part of the rocket and became the leader of the project. Our rocket was successfully launched in July 2006. This project was selected to be one of the best of the year.
09/2003-06/2005 Lycée Pierre de Fermat, FRANCE
Preparatory classes (PCSI, PSI* : major physics). These classes are 2 years of full time higher education preparing for the competitive entry exams to France’s institutes of engineering.
06/2003
Scientific Baccalauréat (major mathematics), equivalent to A-level
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
Summer 2007 Astrium, Toulouse, FRANCE
Internship in the department of design of telecommunication satellites.
Having to analyse thermal dissipations budgets from previous telecommunication satellites, I had to analyse the evolutions of thermal performances during the beginning of projects and compare the performances of the different satellites. This included a meeting with thermal team so as to show my conclusions.
July 2006 Latécoère, Toulouse, FRANCE
Internship in manufacturing workshop
The company is a subcontractor to companies such as Airbus, Boeing or Dassault aviation. I assembled parts in a production workshop.

ACTIVITIES & INTERESTS
At the Ecole Centrale Lyon I swam every week, I took part in university competitive sport. I also played water polo and rugby every week. I was a member of the school team.
During the first year at school I belonged to an ECL students’ association the SDeC which consist in providing students with duplicated lecture notes, printing whatever other students’ association need. In this association I was in charge of relationship with professors of the school.
