Biography

Aurélie Guérineau is a Research Associate at the Satellite Research Centre (SaRC) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) of Singapore. She works with Prof Erick Lansard on the mission and system design for next-generation CubeSat focused on Earth observation and climate applications.

Prior to transitioning into mission and systems engineering, she worked on a Very-Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) small satellite programme (ELITE), contributing primarily to firmware and on-board software while also supporting hardware integration, satellite assembly, communication and environmental testing.

Before joining SaRC, Aurélie was an Embedded Software Engineer at Thales Alenia Space, where she gained valuable industry experience in space engineering for over two years.

Her work now spans end-to-end mission conception, payload definition, and systems modelling for tropical monitoring challenges. Her interests lie in leveraging small-satellite technologies to support climate resilience, disaster monitoring, and sustainable development.

Aurélie is also actively involved in strengthening Singapore’s space ecosystem. She is part of the organising team for the Singapore Space Symposium 2026, contributing to community engagement and regional collaboration in the Asia-Pacific space sector.
