Joel Alves Costa Filho is a person fascinated by the sky and space activities. He holds a BS degree in Aerospace Engineering from Universidade de Brasília (UnB) (2017) and an MSc degree in Astrophysical and Instrumentation for Space at Universidade de Coimbra (UC) (2021). Besides he also holds a Green Belt - Six Sigma certificate (2017). During his undergraduate studies, he was an intern at the Chemical Propulsion Laboratory of the UnB, working with CDF simulations. He was a research investigator (2020) at the Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory of the University of Coimbra under the project "Space Weather, Space Weathering & Space Debris," working with space weathering of materials in Earth orbit. He worked with CFD simulations as a Product Development Engineer at S&DG Consulting Unipessoal (2021 - 2022). Currently, he is a PhD candidate in Physical Engineering - path: Instrumentation at UC, co-funded by ESA (European Space Agency), and a fellow researcher at IA (Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço) and LIP (Laboratório de Investigação e Física Experimental de Partículas da Universidade de Lisboa).
