🚀🌟 Celebrating a New Milestone! 🌟🚀 My first degree in Aerospace Engineering led me to a job I love: flying a spacecraft 🛰 around Mars. I am driven to understand how things work—aircraft, spacecraft; electrical, mechanical, and thermal systems. Teams are systems, and people, they're the most complex systems we know. I wanted to know more. This led to psychology and another graduation; MSc in Psychology! 🎓 I’m still curious. I’m still exploring space, planets, the stars and now, people. Creating new science, extending the boundaries of our knowledge. I’m excited to blend engineering expertise with psychological insights, expanding my horizons, exploring new frontiers. #AerospaceEngineering #Psychology #MarsExpress #ComplexSystems #Curiosity #LondonMetropolitanUni #BPS #SystemsEngineering #LifelongLearning

I have successfully passed the'" Introduction to Airbreathing Propulsion" exam, conducted by Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU). This subject has been an exciting journey into understanding the fundamentals of airbreathing engines, a crucial part of aerospace engineering. From exploring jet engine mechanisms to analyzing their efficiency, this subject has deepened my passion for propulsion systems and their applications in aviation and space exploration. Grateful to my professors and peers who supported me through this learning experiences. #AerospaceEngineering #AirbreathingPropulsion #LearningJourney #VTU

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification through the Coursera ''Digitalization in Aeronautics and Space'' This course cover three topics Digitalization in the Aerospace Industry, Space Research, and Aeronautics. #digitalization #aerospaceindustry #spaceresearch& #aeronautics. ✍

The #Aerospace PhD Days are organized by AIDAA - The Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics and are open to PhD students working on #Aerospace #Science and #Engineering topics. The 2024 open access proceedings edition has 42 presentations, with authors from more than ten institutions, including delegates from China, Germany, Lithuania, and Switzerland. Many aerospace disciplines and topics were covered, such as fluid dynamics, structures, stratospheric balloons, maintenance and operations, UAV, dynamics and control, space systems, sustainability of aeronautics and space, aeroelasticity, multiphysics, space debris, aeroacoustics, navigation and traffic management, additive manufacturing, and human-machine interaction.

Exciting developments at NASA with the launch of the CAS SUMAC project! 🚀 This initiative is exploring sustainable thermoplastic composites to minimize environmental impacts in aviation. A collaboration among NASA's top research centers and partners across industry and academia aims to integrate advanced, eco-friendly materials into aircraft manufacturing. Let's discuss how sustainable materials can transform the aerospace industry! #Sustainability #Innovation #AerospaceEngineering https://lnkd.in/e5DTkwUm

Today in Aerospace History: Celebrating the Apollo 5 Mission 🚀 January 22, 1968—a pivotal moment in aerospace history. NASA launched Apollo 5, the first mission to test the Lunar Module (LM) in space. Designed to operate solely in the vacuum of space, the LM was critical for landing astronauts on the Moon. This unmanned mission proved the LM’s descent and ascent engines could perform the precise maneuvers required for lunar landing and liftoff. Despite challenges with the descent engine, Apollo 5 demonstrated the resilience, adaptability, and innovation of aerospace engineers—a true milestone in the Apollo program. Without Apollo 5’s success, the legendary Apollo 11 Moon landing just 18 months later might not have been possible. It’s a powerful reminder of how rigorous testing, teamwork, and ingenuity drive aerospace innovation. What Can We Learn Today? Whether you’re working on advanced aerodynamics, missile systems, or hypersonics, the lessons of Apollo 5 endure: Test rigorously to ensure success. Adapt when challenges arise. Collaborate to push the boundaries of possibility. Advance Your Expertise with Us At White Eagle Aerospace, we’re committed to helping professionals like you excel in aerospace engineering. From missile aerodynamics to hypersonics, our courses are designed to equip you with the skills to innovate and lead. 👉 Explore our course catalog https://lnkd.in/eq6ccYVM As we honor Apollo 5, let’s remember: the sky isn’t the limit—it’s just the beginning. #Apollo5 #AerospaceHistory #Innovation #EngineeringExcellence

For so long, many believed that aerospace was only for STEM. Today, we know something even more powerful: aerospace needs everyone. From scientists to artists inspiring us to dream bigger, the future of space exploration will be built by diverse talents, perspectives, and passions. Whether you’re coding, designing, or creating, there’s a place for you in this ever-evolving field. Together, we’ll explore new worlds, solve complex problems, and make the impossible, possible. #SpaceForAll #Innovation #Aerospace

Last year at #AIAASciTech, I presented a simple wing model and a set of 3 problems for the aeroelastic optimisation community to use as benchmarks. Since then, we set up a working group of researchers from across the world. This time round, we'll have participants from Michigan Aerospace, Georgia Tech - Aerospace Engineering, NASA Langley Research Center, and German Aerospace Center (DLR) presenting results from tackling the benchmark problems with their own tools! If you're at SciTech this year, come join our special session on MDO Benchmarks for Aircraft Design (MDO-23) at 3:30pm on Friday in Orlando Ballroom N. We're especially looking for input from industry on how to make these problems, and our tools, more industrially relevant. The video below shows my results for the most complex of the three problems, optimising the structural sizing, shape, twist and planform of the wing simultaneously for minimum fuel burn. The wing on the left is optimised without the planform variables. You can find the corresponding paper and a Github repo containing the benchmark model files at the links below: Paper link: https://lnkd.in/eA6j5NYC Benchmark model repo: https://lnkd.in/gzb8ikc3 Credit for proposing and organising the working group goes to Graeme Kennedy, Bret Stanford, and Kevin Jacobson.

Aloha! Excited to share that I had the incredible opportunity to present my research at the 2025 Space Flight Mechanics Meeting held in beautiful Kauai, Hawaii! Our paper, titled "Introducing Ghrist's Universal Templates and Isolating Blocks to Categorize Motion through the L2 Earth-Moon Gateway," was co-authored by myself (Seur Gi Jo), Dr. David Canales Garcia, and Dr. Kathleen C. Howell. This work introduces innovative methodologies for analyzing complex motion in the cislunar region, leveraging tools from dynamical systems and knot theory. You can access our paper here: https://lnkd.in/g6BvWw_k I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my co-authors, Dr. Canales and Dr. Howell, for their invaluable mentorship and collaboration. I also deeply appreciate the support from my research group, the STAR group at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and the Republic of Korea Air Force, which has made opportunities like this possible. This research is still in its early stages, but it marks an exciting starting point for bridging two seemingly distinct fields: knot theory and aerospace engineering. I look forward to exploring this connection further! #AerospaceEngineering #SpaceFlightMechanics #CislunarDynamics #EmbryRiddle #STARGroup #Research
