FutPrint50: hybrid-electric aviation & European RT
Ricardo Reis works for Embraer Research and Technology and is based in Lisbon, Portugal. Currently, he is focal point for Systems Engineering for the RT department, crosslinking initiatives and connecting to the Chief Engineer office and coordinator of Embraer SE community of knowledge. He is also part of the Embraer RT Strategy team and leads several projects within the European collaborative ecosystem, currently spanning Hybrid Electric regional aircraft, Human Factors and AI enabled Digital Assistants. With an aerospace engineer degree and a PhD in High Performance Computing and Turbulent Flow Simulation, he has drifted towards at SE due to concerns with overall system design and human systems integration practice. In that regard, he has joined INCOSE and strives to be active with the AI and HSI WG.

ESA scientific programme and career path
Ivo Ferreira is an astrophysics and space engineering enthusiast. His interest in space started early, fascinated by the dimension and complexity of the universe and the human quest to understand it. This interest led him to visit the Space Camp in the USA at the age of 14 and realize that his path would always be in this area. He is a proud Alumni of the aerospace engineering course at Técnico, having graduated in 2007. He spent the last 2 years of his degree at Supaero and at the University of Paul Sabatier where he also got a Masters in Astrophysics. Later he did a PhD with the MIT Portugal Program in ''Engineering Design and Advanced Manufacturing'' and also did the space studies program at the International Space University. He worked in diverse technical areas such as electric thruster testing, software development, space suits, or scientific instruments. After his PhD he evolved to the field of systems engineering, where he has been working at the European Space Agency (ESA) in the Netherlands since 2012. At ESA he was team leader for the conceptual design of new space missions for scientific applications, Earth observation or Human exploration. Since 2017 he has been working in the science directorate in the preparation of future missions, as a systems engineer for the development of the satellites, and also managing the technology activities required for the feasibility demonstration of these missions. His current main focus is on the Athena mission, one of the major missions of ESA's Cosmic Vision program that is still in the preparation phase. The Athena mission is a space observatory designed to observe high-energy sources in the Universe that emit essentially X-rays. These sources can be for example neutron stars, areas around black holes or supernova explosions. With its small contribution, it hopes to help better understand big questions such as the evolution of the universe, the origin of metals, or what happens next to a black hole.
