Researcher
Dr. Stefano Silvestrini is a researcher at the Aerospace Science and Technology Department of Politecnico di Milano. He obtained his Ph.D. cum laude with a thesis titled "AI-augmented Guidance, Navigation and Control for Proximity Operations of Distributed Systems". He earned his M.Sc. degree in Aerospace Engineering in 2017 from TU Delft. In 2016, he has worked as a trainee for Airbus D&S in Munich. In 2015, he earned his B.Sc. degree in Aerospace Engineering at the Università degli Studi di Padova. During his BSc, he spent a 6-months research period at the College of Aerospace Engineering of Boston University under awarded scholarship. He has been involved in national and EU/ESA-funded projects for developing nanosat constellation for science observation, mission analysis and system design for fractionated space architecture and AI for spacecraft GNC. He has worked as teaching assistant for several courses throughout the MSc and PhD career. His research interests include the development of Artificial Intelligence algorithms for autonomous GNC in distributed space systems and proximity operations, particularly tailored for embedded applications in small platforms.
