Dr. Pedro Lourenço, currently head of the Guidance & Control section within the Flight Segment and Robotics unit of GMV, received the BSc and MSc degrees in Aerospace Engineering in 2010 and 2012, respectively, both from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, Portugal, on the course of which he received the Merit Award. In 2019, he then received his Ph.D. degree (with distinction and honour) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from IST, while being a researcher with the Institute for Systems and Robotics. He was awarded the Best National Ph.D. Thesis in Robotics by the Portuguese Robotics Society for his dissertation on globally convergent simultaneous localization and mapping. In 2019, he joined the GNC division of the Flight Segment and Robotics business unit of GMV, Lisbon, Portugal as a control specialist. There Pedro has designed control systems for over 10 ESA-funded projects on space rendezvous, reusable transportation systems, interplanetary missions, telecommunication and telescope missions, and was project manager in two R&D projects on the use of convex optimization for space applications. Since 2022, he became Head of Guidance & Control Section and has lead R&D&I efforts towards the adoption of optimization-based guidance & control, with emphasis on the enhancement of the verification and validation process and robustification of algorithms. His research interests include optimization-based guidance & control, model predictive control, active estimation, with particular emphasis on spacecraft AOCS/GNC. He has published 8 journal and 14 conference papers. He has co-supervised 6 MSc students and is currently co-supervising 2 MSc and 1 PhD student.
