I am a PhD student in Space Systems Engineering at Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech), working on electric propulsion systems for CubeSats, particularly Surface Arc Thrusters (SATs).
I am currently involved in the BIRDS-RPM project as a communications subsystem engineer, focusing on ground station operations, RF systems, and on-orbit telemetry analysis.
I operate a SatNOGS ground station in Japan and actively contribute to satellite observations, signal analysis, and decoding (FSK, GMSK, LoRa, SSTV, etc.). I am especially interested in improving reliability in signal reception and integrating open-source tools into satellite operations workflows.
My research interests include electric propulsion, small satellite systems, RF engineering, and open-source space infrastructure.
I am looking forward to collaborating with the community on satellite tracking, decoding, and open hardware/software development.
