Júlia Soler i Pla
MSc Aerospace Engineering — ISAE-SUPAERO
Dual-degree aerospace and telecommunications engineer, currently completing an MSc in Space Systems Engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO. Five years of combined undergraduate study and graduate research have given me a broad technical base across the full engineering lifecycle — from design and modelling to prototyping, testing and validation — along with the analytical rigour to tackle challenging problems. Methodical and genuinely passionate about space, with a proven ability to deliver in both professional and research settings.
