Antonio Tabanera Manzanares DPhil

Antonio graduated with valedictorian honours in the Technical University of Madrid both for the BSc and the MSc in Aerospace Engineering. There he specialised in the fields of Material Science, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics and Aerospace Propulsion. During his studies he has been part of the research group GAMOSINOS (Group of Advanced Modelling and Simulation of Non-linear Solids), where he has been working in the field of metamaterials and solid mechanics. There he completed his BSc thesis about multiscale models for metamaterial calculations as well as his MSc thesis about the response of metamaterials to dynamic loads. He has worked for 2 years in the company GMV, which is the main partner of the European Space Agency in Spain. There, he worked in two different projects, one related to the design of the avionics of the launcher MIURA-1, and the other related to the field of Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST).
