POLICY

Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) 

SGAC is an international network of students and young professionals working in the space sector, and a permanent observer to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. I currently serve in two roles:
  1. Lead of the Space Policy and Advocacy Task Force for the NCAC Region (North America, Central America, and the Caribbean). The NCAC Task Force aims to encourage broad participation in policy discussion, and to provide a platform for our members to share their perspectives.
  2. National Point of Contact for the United States. I serve as a resource for SGAC's US members. I aim to represent them within SGAC and foster our US community through newsletters, webinars, and more.
Also with SGAC, I have worked on projects related to planetary protection, remote sensing data for human rights and climate applications, orbital debris, conference programing, and more.​

Science Policy

Science Takes a Village! Getting science done doesn't just require scientists. There is so much work done behind the scenes in the policy world. Congressional Visit Days are a fantastic way for scientists to learn about science policy and how they can contribute. A couple of options include: the American Astronomical Society, and the Planetary Society.  

Space Governance

Dr. Timiebi Aganaba and I explore the continuously evolving structure of the global space governance system. We consider traditional governing bodies, the commercial space industry, science organizations, local communities, and more. We develop ways to visualize this structure as a tool for discussions on space law and policy.
