The Team

Marie is an Advanced Master student in Aerospace Project Management at ISAE-SUPAERO and a graduate from IPSA with a Master degree in Aerospace Engineering. Always looking for new challenges and opportunities, she studied at the University of Limerick in Ireland and Politecnico di Torino in Italy before working for half a year in Lisbon, Portugal. She is improving her knowledge in Project Management in the hope of leading major aerospace projects in the near future.

Marie is passionate about Human Spaceflight and Space Exploration with her goal being to devote her professional career to it. She was a scientific animator at the Cité de l’Espace (Toulouse, France) and interned at ONERA – The French Aerospace Lab as a space propulsion intern. She worked for a few months at Valispace, a start-up developing a productivity tool for engineers, in Systems Engineering & Product Management.

Always eager to learn more about the space domain, she joined SGAC in 2020 and was part of the organizing team of SG[France]2022. Marie hopes through SGAC to meet fellow students and young professionals fascinated about space and share her passion. She also loves to travel, meet new people and is looking forward to working abroad in a multicultural environment. As a space enthusiast, she thinks international cooperation is essential in the next decades to tackle the amazing challenges to come.

Lucille is currently working as Marketing & Sales Manager at Oxford Space Systems in the UK. A graduate from Toulouse Business School, she has a Marketing and Management background including strategy, product development and customer relationships, with 8 years’ experience in the space sector.

Estelle is an Advanced Master student in Space Systems Engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO and recently graduated from ENSPIMA (Bordeaux INP) with a Master degree in Aerospace Engineering. She has always been passionate about the Universe and space exploration, and thus decided to study spacecraft design at Luleå University of Technology in Kiruna, Sweden as an exchange student for her first year of master. This year abroad made her interest for space even bigger, and confirmed her passion for space systems.

This is why she worked as a Systems Engineer Apprentice during her last year of engineering school at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, in the Advanced Projects department. This experience was the ultimate confirmation of her will to work in that field, hence her enrollment in the TAS ASTRO Advanced Master. (Of course, her lifelong dream remains to become an ESA astronaut.)

Estelle discovered the SGAC during the IAC 2021, some of her friends from Kiruna being involved in the association. More recently, a former member of the organising team who is now a student in TAS ASTRO with her advised her to get involved in the SG[France]2023, because of how great an experience it had been. Estelle is very happy to be part of the Sponsors team, and can’t wait until the D-day!

Sébastien is a graduate (5th year) student from the IPSA (Aerospace Engineering) specializing in Autonomous Aeronautical Systems. Sébastien is passionate about space but mainly about space exploration. He enjoys expanding his knowledge on space exploration and applications by participating in student challenges such as the Student Aerospace Challenge and the IASC Asteroid Search Campaign. Always eager to learn more about the space industry, he set his mind on joining the organizing team of SG[France]23.

Sébastien discovered and joined SGAC with SG[France]22 in Strasbourg. Shortly after, he joined the Space Exploration Project Group (SEPG) to work closely with members passionate about advocating the growing role of the new generation of space professionals in the field of Space Exploration. Currently, he is closely working with the SEPG co-lead as the Internal Communications Director within the PR & Communications Team of SEPG.

Emeric is a young graduate from IPSA, currently working at Constellation Technologies, a really young start-up developing a telecommunication constellation of satellites. A jack of all trades, he likes to discover different aspects of the space engineering world. He did an internship at Airbus Defense & Space where he worked on the electrical architecture of satellites, worked on a satellite equipped with a laser that could clean up the geostationary orbit and even did an internship at La Cité de l’Espace as a scientific animator. His ultimate goal is to work on an exploration mission.

After the Covid pandemic took place, Emeric was feeling really sad because he wasn’t able to see his friends for a long time so he participated at the SG France 2021 in Lille. The event turned out to be really interesting, fun and challenging so he did it again in Strasbourg in 2022. This year he chose to be part of the organising team hoping to help you have a great time too.
