Oier Peñagaricano Muñoa

Oier Peñagaricano Muñoa has extensive experience in the aerospace engineering field. Oier began their career in 2006 as a PhD Candidate in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan, where they developed a novel mathematical framework to analytically solve perturbed boundary value problems using Hamilton's principle and canonical transformations. In 2007, they worked as a Mission Analysis Engineer at GMV, where they developed a space mission analysis software package for spacecraft dynamics around asteroids. From 2008 to 2011, they were a Postdoctoral Researcher and Research Scholar at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where they developed space mission analysis simulation tools for low energy spacecraft orbits. In 2011, they co-founded Black Swift Technologies, a data and imaging solutions provider through cutting edge unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology. Finally, in 2014, they founded Alerion, which develops customised intelligent drones for fully automated infrastructure inspection tasks.

Oier Peñagaricano Muñoa's education history includes a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan between 2006 and 2010, a MSE in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Michigan between 2004 and 2005, a BS in Aerospace Engineering from Penn State University between 2001 and 2004, and a High School degree from Santo Tomás Lizeoa.
