Projects
Through my journey, I've had the opportunity to work with amazing teams toward inspiring missions. I've also had the chance to learn from great people at UTIAS and work with peers to complete complex and interesting tasks.
Here's a short highlight!
Time Synchronization with Xilinx's FPGA board
The use of multiple sensors and a FPGA for time synchronization addresses important problematics as: clock domain crossing, metastability, simultaneous triggering and timestamping.
​
With the position and orientation system (POS) working as the master clock, multiple approaches were used for synchronization.
​
Phase-lock techniques were implemented using HDL to create a synchronous trigger signal and reach sub-microsecond accuracy.

Attitude determination and state estimation for FINCH CubeSat.
My participation with the ADCS division started with the literature review of attitude determination techniques for CubeSats. The experience I had with the great State Estimation course at UTIAS helped me to plan an approach with the team.
​
The development continued with the use of MATLAB and Simulink to create models for orbit propagation, dynamic and measurement models, earth magnetic field and others.
​
Our initial approach included nonlinear models with an Extended Kalman Filter using IMU telemetry. We continue adding and improving our models and tools.
M.Eng School Projects
The two years at UTIAS helped me acquire knowledge regarding the topics I dreamed to understand better since I was determined to pursue space as a life project.
​
My coursework choices followed an emphasis in robotics and in these images I showcase the projects I enjoyed the most regarding: motion planning (top left), advanced flight dynamics (top right), aerospace structures (center left), state estimation (center right) and perception for robotics (bottom).
