Short CV: Aya Farag Muhammed is a rising junior data analyst, orbit design and analysis engineer, and coding instructor based in Egypt. As a graduate in Space Navigation, Aya brings dedicated expertise in space mission analysis, satellite dynamics, and simulation. Through her internship at the Egyptian Space Agency, she led the development of a 3D sun-synchronous orbit propagation simulation using MATLAB, implementing advanced numerical techniques (two-body problem, Runge-Kutta integration, J2 perturbations, and ground track visualization) and validating results against industry-standard software (STK). Aya has experience with mechanical design in aerospace projects—including robotics arms and CanSat satellites—leveraging SolidWorks and microcontroller integration under university and lab supervision.She has also completed specialized internships at the Centre for Theoretical Physics, British University in Egypt, focusing on physics, cosmology, quantum science, and the application of machine learning to space research. Aya’s teaching experience spans four years as a programming and coding instructor, fostering technical capabilities in Python and C++. She holds certifications in data fundamentals (IBM SkillsBuild), AI basics (University of Helsinki), research writing, and remote sensing/GIS. Her achievements include second place at the Egyptian Space Summit for innovative CubeSat mission design, and first place at Beni Suef University's International Conference for research on space debris and the orbital environment.Aya is committed to advancing space technology through data-driven research, engineering simulation, and education. She is active in Egypt’s youth tech and space community, contributing to hackathons (NASA Space Apps), mission control coursework, and STEM outreach. Her multidisciplinary skill set spans satellite technology, coding instruction, AI, and project-based learning.
