      I have been very interested by space and robots for a very long time and originally I found maths very abstract at school and was not especially good at it. But I knew this was the field I wanted to work in.
      The click happened when I started to apply maths to real engineering problem. I was amazed you could calculate how object moves, fall, fly, even calculate where the planets are going to be in years to come…and how big a parachute you need to land on Mars.

      I would have never imagined to be working where I am, but it is very true that “where there is a will, there is a way”.

      …so…where do you see yourself in the future?

      I dreamt of it but was never really sure it’d become reality, so I consider myself extremely lucky 🙂
