My name is César Saavedra M., an Industrial Mechanical Engineer passionate about research, product development, team work and teaching.
I enjoy working on challenging tasks, using my skills, engineering knowledge and curiosity to solve complex problems.
I stongly believe in the role of each member of my teams, in order to develop first-class solutions.
I have focused my carreer on:
Intellectual property:
Prior art search.
Claims and Specification drafting.
Product development:
CAD, DFM analysis, FEA.
Rapid prototyping.
Material testing and modelling.
Project management:
Technical teams leadership.
Strategic planning.
Research:
CubeSat development.
University teaching:
Lectures, laboratory practices, demos.
I truly enjoy listening to music and playing the drums.
I also love taking photos, especially street and landscape photography in analog media. I like the combination of optics, chemistry and art during the film development process.
Another way I'm able to combine my interests is astronomy and astrophotography! I aim to learn more about photo stacking and noise managment soon.
Regarding literature, my favourite novel is Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo: complex and interconected storylines presented in a poetic and almost magical fashion.
