Flurin Roca holds an MSc in Space Systems from ETH Zurich, following a Bachelor’s degree in Geospatial Engineering. He previously interned at ESA-ESTEC in Systems Engineering, after gaining two years of practical experience with ARIS. He is particularly interested in space geodesy, satellite systems and Earth observation.

Nick Burri is a recent MSc Physics graduate from ETH Zurich, specializing in astrophysics, exoplanets, and space exploration. As a Visiting Student Researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he conducted his Master’s thesis on terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres using reflected-light spectroscopy.

Tatiana is currently an ESA Graduate Trainee working on satellite resilience, analysing mission risks and developing fault detection and recovery strategies. She holds a Master’s degree in Space Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, specialising in satellite systems, navigation and fault management. She previously worked as a Control Engineer at Deimos Space in Madrid and completed an exchange semester at ZHAW.

Georg Teufelberger is currently a Graduate Trainee at ESA, where he works on back-end web and software development. He has a background in software infrastructure and design and is active within ARIS Zurich as a coach, mentoring members in Rust programming. He studied Software Engineering at ETH Zurich.

Pablo Scherpereel Arce is a Mechanical Engineering Master’s student at ETH Zurich and a Graduate Visiting Student Researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he works on mission-level autonomy for the Endurance lunar rover. Previously, he served as Chief Engineer and Project Manager of HERMES, ARIS Zurich’s first cryogenic bi-liquid sounding rocket, leading a multidisciplinary team of engineers.

Jo Ann is currently an Internal Research Fellow in Space Science at ESA/ESTEC. She obtained her PhD in Physics from the University of Bern. Her research focuses on the interiors of small exoplanets through theoretical modelling and observations, with strong links to ESA’s CHEOPS, PLATO and Ariel missions.
