ABOUT
Fascinated by the complexities of space and the challenges of its exploration, Bisma Sajid developed a keen interest in exploring technology to advance research into space and beyond. This led her to carve out a path in this domain.
Bisma began her academic journey with bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering from Institute of Space Technology in Islamabad. She then continued her studies in this domain by pursuing a master’s in Space and Engineering Systems from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Moscow. Her research focused on the design of attitude determination and control systems (ADCS) for cube satellites (CubeSats). The research incorporated the quantification of atmospheric disturbances that affect a satellite in space, the development of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF)-based attitude estimation models and the overall satellite dynamics and kinematics modelling and its analysis.
Building on these foundations and keeping her passion for continued exploration in this area alive, Bisma’s research as part of the AUFRANDE program focuses on exploring the design of distributed, fault-tolerant computing for nanosatellite constellations. Bisma plans on expanding her expertise into distributed computing domain. She aims to integrate her knowledge of the ADCS algorithm design to research on the satellite computing architectures and their ultimate consequence on the ADCS and other subsystems of satellite constellations.
