On November 21, 2023 the Royal Academy of Engineering (Real Academia de Ingeniería) issued the Young Researcher Medal to Mario Merino, PI of the ZARATHUSTRA Project.
The medal recognizes his outstanding contributions to the design, modeling, simulation, and testing of plasma space propulsion and, more specifically, electrodeless plasma thrusters. We congratulate Mario on his well-deserved achievement!
Enrique Bello, member of our team has contributed to the paper "Effect of injection conditions on the non-linear behavior of the ECDI and related turbulent transport", just published in the journal Physics of Plasmas. The work revisits the classical electron-cyclotron...
Bonjour! My name is Hugo Bergerioux, and I just joined the ZARATHUSTRA team as a PhD student. I studied Applied Physics in EPFL, specializing in Plasma Physics. During my studies, I developed a keen interest in space technologies. Combining my background in physics...
Davide Maddaloni, member of the ZARATHUSTRA team, successfully defended his thesis “Investigation of oscillations in space plasma thrusters via data-driven analysis techniques”. We congratulate Davide for his achievement, and wish him the best in his future steps!
