BIO
Dr. Sanjuan is a Research Associate Professor and an electrical engineer with the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University (A&M). He has over 15 years of experience in space missions for gravity field and gravitational wave measurements, optical metrology, laser frequency stabilization systems and optical clocks for global navigation satellite systems and tests of fundamental physics in space. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain. Subsequently, he joined the LISA group at the Department of Physics at the University of Florida as post-doc. Later, he led the team at the German Space Agency (DLR) to develop the optical ground support equipment for the laser ranging interferometer (LRI) on GRACE Follow-On. In 2019, he returned to the University of Florida to work on the LISA telescope testing at the Department of Physics, and on gravitational reference sensors at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department
