Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Borrego is a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft with a decade of experience bridging software engineering, industrial control systems, and robotics. He spent seven years at CERN developing real-time and SCADA control software for cryogenics and alignment systems in the HiLumi LHC upgrade, and earlier built robotics simulation and domain-randomization tooling at ISR-Lisboa. Trained as an electrical and computer engineer with exchange studies in computer science, he combines strong systems thinking with hands-on programming for PLCs, OPC UA, and control-room applications. His work sits at the intersection of research and production: shipping reliable automation tools in high-stakes physics infrastructure while pursuing airline maintenance-scheduling optimization in his PhD. Known for translating complex hardware and operational constraints into robust software, he thrives on projects that require both theoretical rigor and practical engineering.
