Athens, Greece · Propulsion / launch vehicles

From first principles to flight-ready decisions.

I connect propulsion, aerodynamics, structures, and flight data into one engineering argument—then test where that argument meets reality.

02 / Research

One technical argument, end to end.

The thesis is positioned as the central research artifact—not just a long report, but a traceable record of assumptions, models, design choices, and verification.

Undergraduate thesis · [Add university / department]

Design and development of a modular sounding rocket for small research teams

A practical, theory-backed development framework intended to help small research groups translate a payload objective into a complete sounding-rocket design. [Replace with your final 60–90 word abstract.]

03 / Profile

Breadth with a clear centre.

Propulsion is the destination; multidisciplinary vehicle design is the working language.

Short professional profile

I am an aerospace science graduate focused on propulsion and launch-vehicle development.

My work is strongest where analytical models meet real design constraints: pressure, temperature, stability, mass, manufacturing, and test evidence. I value clear requirements, honest margins, and results that another engineer can audit.

Replace this paragraph with a 70–100 word biography tailored to the roles you are applying for.
