Kalman Filter — estimating the position of a body with a satellite (GNSS) constellation.
SLAM — simultaneous localisation and mapping using an Extended Kalman Filter.
Motion Planning — exploring an unknown map using a LiDAR and motion planning.
Particle Filter — submarine navigation along the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Rocket Autopilot — target estimation, navigation law and autopilot configuration.
Research Internship — ENAC — thermal and RGB signal analysis to monitor pilots and operators.

Fluid Mechanics & CFD — vortices, heat and aerodynamics

Double Delta Wing — vortex flow analysis over a subsonic double delta wing.
Guiding Vanes — CFD analysis of the guiding vanes from a wind-tunnel elbow.
FVM Software — heat-equation resolution using the Finite Volume Method.
Turbojet Model — engine parameter evolution along the operating line.
Research Internship — CMT — blockage study for pod dimensioning inside a Hyperloop.

Technical Clubs — rockets, cargo planes and podiums

XTRA2 — Aeromodelling — competition team, 4th place at the Air Cargo Challenge.
Supaero Drone — development of a hydrogen-fuelled aeromodel.
Perseus — Rocket Club — research on new injectors presented at EUCASS 2023.
