About me

My name is Roberto Pastor Muela, a software developer with a MSc. in Aeronautical Engineering by the UC3M and experience in the Space sector (astrodynamics, precise orbit determination), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and simulations.

I am currently working for Ansys, more specifically for the Ansys GitHub organization and the PyAnsys ecosystem, where I contribute to multiple open-source projects! Looking forward to talking to you all!
