About Me

Passionate about excellence, I am an apprentice engineer at Safran Helicopter Engines in my second year of Master's degree in Aeronautical Mechanical Engineering at Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse.

I have another passion: sharing my knowledge and experiences with enthusiasm and rigor. My tutors and peers often appreciate my strong presentation and communication skills.

From mathematical competitions to complex aeronautical systems, my journey has been driven by curiosity, precision, and innovation.

🏆 International Youth Math Challenge

2021: National First Prize (TOGO)

International Finalist (2021, 2023)

This achievement taught me to tackle complex problems under pressure, break them into manageable parts, and build elegant solutions—skills I apply daily in engineering.

Academic & Personal Projects

CubeSat deployable radiator
🛰️ CubeSat 12U - Deployable Radiator System
Thermal Design

Challenge: Design a deployable thermal radiator for a 12U CubeSat maintaining batteries between -5°C and +25°C.

Key Achievements: Thermal analysis (hot/cold cases) using Lambert's law & Stefan-Boltzmann. Radiator dimensioning: 0.61 m² (cold case critical). Deployment mechanism: torsion springs. Locking system selection via decision matrix (retractable rod chosen). Thermal regulation: Copper hinge, heat pipes.
