"Electrospray Propulsion for SmallSats"

Manuel Gamero-Castaño received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from University of Seville, Spain (1995), and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Yale University (1999). He joined Busek Co Inc in 1999 where he worked in electric propulsion for spacecraft. He transferred to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a Senior Engineer in 2004, where he continued developing electrospray propulsion technology for NASA's DRS-ST7 and LISA missions. Gamero joined UC-Irvine's Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in 2007. His research focuses on electrospray propulsion, electrospray atomization, nanodroplet beams and the development of aerosol diagnostics.
