About Me

I am Joost Hubbard, an MEng Aerospace Engineering student at Queen Mary University of London. My passion lies in orbital mechanics, propulsion systems, and spacecraft design. I have gained practical and theoretical experience through internships and academia, where I developed skills in CAD, FEM, CFD, and mission planning software as well as hands-on engineering tasks. I thrive in team environments and enjoy tackling complex engineering challenges. Outside of academics, I am an avid cook, hiker and a dedicated follower of Formula One. I am open to any opportunities in the engineering sphere, mainly looking to develop into a future career in the space sector.

I am currently:

• Working on two online textbooks for use in QMUL’s teaching, Symbolic Computational Dynamics and Computational Spacecraft Dynamics, as an active contributor and reviewer.
• Developing background knowledge required for variable mass systems simulation and research.
• Preparing for my visit to ESA Galaxia as part of ESA Academy’s Space Debris Training Course 2024.
