Summary
José Ogalde is a doctoral student and electronic engineer with 10 years’ experience designing digital and embedded systems for space and radio astronomy instruments, from Chile’s first CubeSat to the ALMA correlator and now a LISA phasemeter for his PhD. He combines hands-on hardware design, firmware and software skills with field experience in observatory maintenance and CFD-based modelling for mining, demonstrating versatility across research and industry. Comfortable teaching at university level, he brings clear technical communication and a track record of turning compact, resource-constrained experiments into flight-ready payloads. Based in Hanover, he’s expanding from instrumentation into astrophysics and space engineering while retaining a practical, experiment-driven approach rooted in Chilean observatory heritage.
