Ximo Gallud Cidoncha
Ximo is a PhD student in aeronautics and astronautics conducting research at the intersection of numerical modeling and physics of nanoscale engineering devices. A frequent MATLAB user, he is working on a problem related to the numerical analysis of the shapes of small liquid menisci stressed under very high electric fields to evaporate ions. As these ions fly away, they produce thrust, hence a rocket can be constructed under this principle. This is difficult to analyze since the scales chang ...
Cécile Chazot
Cécile is a PhD student in materials science and engineering. Her research is focused on the creation of new methods for manufacturing high-performance polymer and composite materials in a rapid, energy-efficient manner.
