We will be working with Johan Karlsson, Dennis Kanter and team on a project for integrating energy solutions for emergency shelters commissioned by Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Details will be published in March 2012.
Space Studies Programme
Cooperation of Humans and Robots for Mars (CHARM) exploration was a team project at the Space Studies Programme of 2011 at TU Graz, Austria.
The CHARM team — forty-one professionals from various backgrounds, from nations around the world, but united by a common interest in space exploration — developed a framework to evaluate planetary exploration scenarios involving both humans and robots. The outcome of this project was a report that highlights different factors that affect human-robotic exploration of space, and space projects in general, along with the CHARM model that builds upon these insights to develop feasible mission scenarios for future planetary exploration endeavours. The executive summary and the report can be downloaded from this webpage. Continue reading
The making of master thesis
Featured work
The thesis project enquired into understanding the scope of industrial design for introducing sustained and unbiased development of quality of life in the underprivileged regions of the world.
Subsequently, it investigated radical approaches to improve the access to potable water, sanitation and cooking fuel in the underprivileged regions around the world.
It all began with my fascination for everything aerospace, when I was about ten years old. As I moved through the academic factions of high school and university, I failed to grasp on to this calling due to my mediocre capabilities with mathematics. Nevertheless, I graduated as a computer science engineer – which has its fair share of mathematics, albeit discrete – and then decided to venture into the field of design, to find alternative routes into the aerospace industry.
