Anderson Sabogal holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Colombia. In 2017 he started a master's in the same field at the UPV, Valencia (Spain). During the master’s courses, he participated in two editions of the Hyperloop Pod Competition organized in Los Angeles, California, by the aerospace company SpaceX (2018-2019) . In the first edition, he was a mechanical designer, and later he took on the role of technical director; in the Hyperloop UPV team. For two consecutive years the team finished within the top 10 places, among more than 500 participating universities.

Starting in 2019, he spent 28 months as an R&D mechanical engineer in Zeleros, a Spanish company responsible of develop Hyperloop technologies. During the same period, he started a Masters of Advanced Physics at the University of Valencia, where he look at Deep Technology that could be implemented in Hyperloop.

Consequently, he became interested in topics related to energy, in particular nuclear fusion, and therefore, at the beginning of 2022’ he joined the Department of Nuclear, Atomic, and Molecular Physic, at the University of Granada, where now is researching his Ph.-d. for the IFMIF-DONES project (Irradiation Facility Material for Fusion - Demo Oriented Neutron Source), a particle accelerator able to provide the irradiation needed to get commercial fusion in 2040. He is planning to become a technical director on fusion projects to help make this system a reality.
