Pedro dos Santos received his bachelor's and master's degrees in Aerospace Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa, in 2020 and 2022, respectively. Majoring in Space, he attended Politecnico di Milano for one semester in 2021, having enrolled in the Space Engineering program. For his master's thesis work, he designed an integrated Navigation and attitude Control solution for sub-orbital launchers, obtaining a grade of 19/20. A paper with the findings of his work was presented at an international conference and then published in an international journal. Starting from 2020, he has been an active member of the Aerospace Engineering students association (AeroTéc), where he is part of the project Rocket Experiment Division (RED) and was board member in 2021. As the Control team leader in RED, he participated in international student competitions, playing a fundamental role in the design and development of an award winning sub-orbital rocket. Currently, he is enrolled in the course "Métodos e Técnicas de Investigação Científica" in IST, with a research scholarship from Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) and affiliated with Instituto de Engenharia Mecânica (IDMEC). His research interests include Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) applied to aerospace vehicles, nonlinear systems and control, optimal control, and system modelling.
