Michael Paluszek is President of Princeton Satellite Systems, Inc. (PSS), which he founded in 1992 to provide aerospace consulting services. He developed the control system and simulations for the Indostar-1 satellite using MATLAB, leading to PSS’s first commercial MATLAB product, the Spacecraft Control Toolbox, in 1995. Since then, he has created toolboxes and software for aircraft, submarines, robotics, and nuclear fusion propulsion, expanding PSS’s product line. He leads the development of hypersonic aircraft, lunar landers, and deep space vehicles.Previously, at GE Astro Space, he designed and led control systems for missions including GPS IIR, Inmarsat-3, Mars Observer, and the DMSP meteorological satellites, and participated in more than twelve satellite launches, including the GSTAR III recovery. At Draper Laboratory, he worked on navigation and control systems for the Space Shuttle, Space Station, and submarines. Michael holds a bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering and master’s and engineer’s degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. He holds over a dozen U.S. patents and has authored numerous papers and books, including MATLAB Recipes, MATLAB Machine Learning, Practical MATLAB Deep Learning, and ADCS: Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control Systems.Layla Mohsen is a software developer at PSS, specializing in machine learning and embedded systems. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the American University in Cairo, where she graduated with highest honors. She was recognized among the top 10% of academic achievers in the School of Sciences and Engineering and received both the Academic Honor Award and a Certificate of Recognition for Research and Creativity. Layla designs and simulates a variety of aerospace and fusion energy systems. Her technical work at PSS includes predictive modeling for estimating the remaining useful life of power electronics for fusion plasma heating, optimizing computational time for particle-in-cell simulations, computational fluid dynamics of hypersonic inlets, and simulating a multi-stage induction coilgun system in MATLAB using the finite element method. She also developed the coilgun’s control system and implemented laser communication for deep space emulation. Layla is passionate about building intelligent, energy-efficient systems optimized for real-time performance on low-power hardware, which she hopes to apply in meaningful projects that have a real-world impact.Stephanie Thomas holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT. She has nearly 20 years of MATLAB experience, developing tools for solar sails, spacecraft proximity operations and launch vehicle analysis. She contributed to PSS’s Attitude and Orbit Control textbook and authored numerous user guides. Stephanie has trained engineers globally and consulted for NASA, the Air Force, and the European Space Agency. She is a co-author of MATLAB Recipes, MATLAB Machine Learning, and Practical MATLAB Deep Learning Projects. In 2016, she was named a NASA NIAC Fellow for the 'Fusion-Enabled Pluto Orbiter and Lander' project. Stephanie is an Associate Fellow of AIAA and a member of its Propulsion and Energy Group.
