ESSE Feature of the Week

Meet Matthieu Durand
Final Year Space Engineering Undergraduate Student & Vice-President of Lassonde Satellite Design Team

About Me
I am the Project Manager for my Capstone team’s Hybrid Rocket Engine Project. I am passionate about futurism, and I am working towards a Master’s degree in Europe. I enjoy the study of Physics and Mathematics of outer space.
Someone who’s made a difference in my life
I did some work for Professor Hugh Chesser in the summer of 2018. He showed me the ropes of space engineering, has been a good adviser for the Lassonde Satellite Design Team, helped me get into the ESA Introduction to Space Law Training in 2017 and is now helping me get into my Master’s program.
