Vast experience in leading and
managing R&D-heavy aerospace projects involving space mission design,
concept assessment, systems engineering and multidisciplinary analysis and
optimisation. Having worked for 10+ years in aerospace engineering, I took part
in most private space projects in Russia, and co-founded a European electric
propulsion startup.
Able to kick-off research projects
with vague high-level stakeholder requirements, formulating product vision of
the stakeholders and conveying it to research teams, and leading analysis and
research projects through 0/A/B phases. Skilled in Python and Matlab. Dedicated
team player, science mentor and populator.
