Birnur Sultan Haskol

Hi, I’m Birnur. I’m the President of AS Kocaeli and a member of the Press and the European Grants Working Group. I’m a Bachelor’s student in Mechanical Engineering at Gebze Technical University. I also participated in the Airbus Sloshing Rocket Workshop 2025 Finals in Forlì. Although I enjoy technical topics, what I love most about EUROAVIA is connecting with people from different cultures through our shared passion for aviation and engineering. I’m also responsible for the Wingspan Conversations series, where we introduce inspiring EUROAVIAns who have contributed to the association for many years and help the community get to know the people behind EUROAVIA.

Daniel Estévez Afán

I am Daniel Estévez Afán and I’m from AS Cádiz. I am a fourth year Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Cádiz. I have always loved writing both fiction and articles on aerospace, so writing for the aeronautical blog seemed like the perfect oportunity to expand on the latter. I am also really interested in history, particularly in the history of aviation, a topic I will surely write about. For this business year, I will be writing articles on both civilian and military aviation, motorsports, and the history of aviation.

Davide Como

Currently working in an aerospace company while still writing my master thesis, I am an aerospace engineering student from the University of Bologna. Passionate since childhood about aeronautical history and model airplanes, I am interested in everything that flies within the atmosphere, better if rough and made of wood and fabric. Over the years I’ve taken part in several student associations and projects about rocketry and UAVs, also participating in a couple of competitions and arranging workshops myself. Now, in the little free time I have left, you will more likely just find me flying model airplanes on my own in my usual RC club or learning and sharing curiosities about the most awkward or wonderful things that ever took place up among the clouds.

Joana Sousa

My name is Joana Torres Messias Barbosa e Sousa and I’m from AS Covilhã. Currently I’m pursuing a Master’s in Aeronautical Engineering. I’ve always been passionate about airplanes—their elegance, their complexity, and the inspiration they carry. At the same time, I’m deeply in love with writing, and combining these two passions feels like the perfect balance between creativity and engineering. For this business year I’ll be writing articles and hosting the EUROAVIA Podcast.

Muhammed Ozcan

I am Muhammed Emin Ozcan and I’m from AS Istanbul. I am presently an Aeronautical Engineering student at Istanbul Technical University. I have written many magazines and blog articles throughout my academic life, and I continue to do so. I love not only research in the field of aerospace but also writing about the topics that I research. Especially I am passionate about military aviation, sustainable aviation and the history of aerospace. In this year I will be writing articles for the EUROAVIA Blog, and I hope that you will both have fun and get various information.

Umutcan Bakirci

Hi, I’m Umutcan Bakırcı, a third-year Aerospace Engineering student at İzmir University of Economics. I am currently a writer for EUROAVIA International and an ICM president of the PAS İzmir Local Group. My passion for aerospace has driven me to go beyond theoretical knowledge and participate in various hands-on projects. I took part in the TEKNOFEST competitions, joining both the Medium-Altitude Rocket Competition and the Electric Vehicle Design and Production Competition. These experiences allowed me to gain valuable skills in teamwork, design processes, and engineering applications. I enjoy writing, discovering new technologies, and connecting with people from different cultures. I am especially passionate about aviation history, engineering projects, and innovation. In the future, I aim to push my boundaries both academically and professionally, applying what I have learned to international projects. I am proud to be part of the EUROAVIA family and I am always eager to learn, grow, and take on new challenges.
