Personal statement
Creative thinker, quick learner, challenge accepter and object-oriented problem solver.
Enjoying teamwork in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment with efficient communication skills.听
Before joining 吃瓜tv, she pursued her Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology, with research efforts on innovatively nonlinear dynamics modelling, solving dynamics and control problems in highly nonlinear systems with a focus on contact binary asteroid systems. Afterwards, she continued research as a postdoctoral researcher at Nanjing University and Purple Mountain Observatory, where she investigated the effect of model uncertainties (e.g. gravity field, solar radiation pressure) on the orbital propagation around asteroids and to model the influence of sublimations on the rotation status of a comet, respectively. Then, she was appointed to a lecturer position at the 吃瓜tv, where she continued the research about orbital dynamics and uncertainty analysis and applied it to space debris removal and asteroid deflection. She also started her new research branches in autonomous navigation, intelligent space robotic arm control and AI-based sensor fusion for active debris removal (ADR), in-orbit servicing, assembly and manufacturing (ISAM), to address the challenges of space sustainability. She is currently a member of the Astrodynamics Committee of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), representing the UK.

- The advancement of the EU space sector is highly dependent on the availability of high educational standards, skilled professionals, and the ability for these professionals to upgrade and update their skills.
The ASTRAIOS project will foster innovation, increase EU competitiveness in the space sector and improve the dynamics of the space entrepreneurships ecosystems.
To achieve this, the ASTRAIOS team will provide an exhaustive view and understanding of the current and future Space curricula and courses offered in the EU-27. The project will also describe the need from the European Space industry in the next 10-15 years and identify actionable ways towards a better alignment between the offered educational programmes and the skills required by the future European space industry. - 01-Jan-2023 - 31-Jan-2025

- To address space sustainability, the removal of failure objects (to reduce the population size) and extension of the operational life of active ones (in orbit servicing) requires the use of proper capturing devices, e.g. space robotic arm. This project aims to develop an intelligent controller to operate a space manipulator to achieve the desired movement considering the large uncertainties in the dynamical environment.
