the future IS IN-SITU

Harnessing local materiales and cutting - edge construction methods, I work with teams to develop sustainable space habitats using in - situ resource utilization (ISRU). From regolith - based structures on mars to 3D- printed lunar bases and orbital space stations, we are building the foundations for humanity's next frontier.

In collaboration with SEED, using Wasp 3D technology. Presented on CONACES 2024
