Jakub is an aerospace engineer currently reading for a DPhil in Future Propulsion and Power at The University of Oxford. His research focuses on multi-hole pneumatic probes and mitigation of pneumatic averaging errors in unsteady flow. His research combines numerical studies using computational fluid dynamics, additive manufacturing of prototypes and experimental campaigns in a wind tunnel.
Previously, Jakub earned a Master of Research degree from the University of Cambridge where he focused on turbomachinery design. In 2023, Jakub graduated from the University of Manchester with a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree in Aerospace Engineering. During his Meng studies, Jakub participated in several projects run by the European Space Agency (ESA), including the Fly a Rocket! campaign and Space System Engineering training course. He also served as the head of aerodynamics in Hyperloop Manchester.
Jakub's leadership and dedication to student engagement in volunteering were recognized by the Access All Areas award and the STELLIFY award, the University of Manchester's most prestigious extracurricular accolade. In 2022, Jakub received the Engineering Leadership Scholarship from the Royal Academy of Engineering and was was named one of the top five engineering students in the UK in 2023 by Equal Engineers.
His work experience includes designing space debris removal solutions as a space research specialist at SAB Aerospace and developing graph neural networks for fluid-structure interaction modeling during a summer internship at the University of Manchester.
Jakub is a science communicator, a PoSSUM astronaut trainee, and has participated in several analogue astronaut missions.
