Hi, I'm Gustav.
Aerospace engineer focused on systems, thermal, and mission analysis.
I work on space systems, thermal modelling, mission concepts, and simulation-driven engineering problems, with project experience ranging from lunar surface thermal analysis to Enceladus mission feasibility studies.

Abstract mission-space placeholder. Replace later with project visuals, spacecraft diagrams, or thesis figures.
About
Engineering work at the system level.
Focus
Space systemsThermal analysisMission analysisISRU conceptsSimulation-driven engineering
I am an aerospace engineering master's graduate from the Technical University of Munich with a focus on space systems, thermal analysis, mission design, ISRU concepts, and simulation-based engineering. My recent work includes feasibility studies for an Enceladus mission concept, lunar surface thermal modelling, electric propulsion system design, and orbital thermal simulations.
I prefer engineering problems that connect physical modelling, system-level tradeoffs, and practical implementation. My work has involved tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics, OpenModelica, Python, MATLAB, LaTeX, and C/C++.
