Samuel Low
Masters Student in Aeronautics and Astronautics, admitted Autumn 2021
SU Student - Summer, Summer SessionBioI am an Aero/Astro graduate student in Stanford University, and my undergraduate education was in Electrical Engineering in SUTD. I have an interest in the guidance, navigation, control and autonomy of distributed space systems, such as formations and swarm satellites. This is an exciting new research field in, and it presents the potential to unlock novel space mission ideas and exploit new space flight concepts that allow us to glean new insights about our planet and universe. I am currently privileged to be performing research in satellite navigation, in the Stanford Space Rendezvous Laboratory.
I was a space mission designer and analyst in DSO National Laboratories, where I had been involved in proposing new mission ideas, designing formation flying and constellation geometries, and optimising complex orbit designs. I also designed the satellite carrier phase differential navigation algorithms for Singapore's first formation flying mission - Lumelites 1, 2 and 3. My technical skills include procedural and object oriented programming (Python, MATLAB, C/C++), used often in physics simulations and algorithm design. I am also versed in AGI's Satellite Tool Kit (STK) and other CAD softwares.
I hope to contribute significantly to research in satellite systems and space flight, as well as to be a channel for young minds to find inspiration in space science and engineering. I work with a team of friends to build and maintain Open Space Singapore - a vibrant and open-minded space technology interest group in Singapore. I also advocate for the free exchange of knowledge and education without barriers. My works have been open sourced through my GitHub, for the gainful benefit of other like-minded space engineers. I am also an artist, painter, and photographer by hobby.
