Currently, as a postdoctoral researcher at Leibniz University Hannover, I am investigating the impact of quantum inertial sensors on improving spacecraft navigation for a future lunar mission. Previously contributed to next-generation satellite gravimetry missions and ESA’s BepiColombo mission to Mercury.
