Summary
Ben D is a Radio Frequency and Electronics Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience designing RF subsystems and telecommunications architectures for spacecraft at Aerospacelab. He combines deep academic training (MSc cum laude from UCLouvain and study at Aalto) with practical systems engineering—writing test plans, coordinating with flight software and FPGA teams, and delivering avionics for satellite platforms. Outside aerospace he founded a commercial photography business, showing an eye for detail and an entrepreneurial streak that complements his technical work. He has a strong teaching and community background—tutoring electronics and programming at university level and leading student e-waste initiatives—demonstrating clear communication and civic-minded problem solving. Colleagues rely on him to bridge multidisciplinary teams and translate complex RF constraints into testable, production-ready spacecraft subsystems.
