Biography
Bilal Sattar graduated with a Master of Engineering degree in Aerospace Engineering from Imperial College London in 2023, where his final-year thesis explored more computationally efficient implementations of bounded quantum random walk algorithms. After his studies, Bilal joined NATS as an Engineering and Technology Graduate and now works as a Systems Engineer. He has contributed to the development of Project Bluebird's digital twin and improved speech recognition performance for voice-based interaction. He has also helped deploy the digital twin as a platform for trainee air traffic controller recruitment.
