Objective

Convening the symposium

As Chair, I led the organisation coordinating 5 directors and 47 international students for a rigorous technical programme — and secured an external collaboration with EUROAVIA.

Review Paper

Micro gas-turbines for aviation

Authored "Micro Gas-Turbine Engines for Aviation Propulsion: A Review of Technologies, Challenges, and Future Directions" — surveying the state of the art for compact propulsion systems.

Beyond the paper, I coordinated the programme schedule, speaker assignments, and the external EUROAVIA collaboration.

Commencement & Closing Addresses

My favorite part of the opening address:

      “We meet here today to celebrate together our science and engineering discipline that propels and powers our world. This year, the students of the Thermal Power and Propulsion September 2025 cohort are keeping the fire of the historical Engine Systems Symposium burning by conducting their own research on their selected topics for the 64th Edition of this event. This year's conference is notably diverse; with close to 50 students from all around the world presenting topics from stationary to aero propulsion and power engines and many other auxiliary systems. [...]”
