I hold Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Physics of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia with specialization in environmental impact assessments. My area of research has been in the fields of radiation assessments, groundwater pollution evaluation, remediation and radiological risk forensics which represent one of the main activities. The effort in these fields was clearly noticed due to the presence of necessary scientific contributions in radiation dose assessments, groundwater monitoring, contamination channels, and remediation of radiotoxicity risks. The excellence of these inputs has provided a baseline for civil engineers and water resources managements on safer areas to drill boreholes for quality and consumable groundwater-based drinking, free from radionuclides. My research innovation has contributed greatly in providing solutions to many complicated groundwater and environmental problems which have been recorded as outstanding discoveries to the readers in scientific community by publishing all the novelties and scientific facts in high quality scholarly Journals guided by Thompson Reuters Journal Citation Reports (ISI-Web of Knowledge). Most of the discoveries have equally shared in International conferences in Hungary, Singapore and Malaysia with the proceedings published in ISI and Scopus indexed Journals.

Future of Maunakea Astronomy & Strategic Timelines this DecadeILOAHawaii
The document discusses the future of astronomy on Maunakea over the next decade as the 1968 Master Lease agreement is set to be renewed. It outlines important timelines and considerations for the renewal process, including the need to complete an EIS, management plan update, and negotiate new terms and conditions. The renewal has broad implications and could impact ground-based astronomy globally this century if major new facilities and programs are uncertain of long-term access. Litigation presents a high risk that could jeopardize the productivity and future of Maunakea astronomy.
Historical lunar motion theories by Jacek Szubiakowski ILOAHawaii
This document summarizes historical lunar motion theories and lunar samples housed at the Olsztyn Planetarium and Astronomical Observatory. It discusses the theories of Hipparchus, Ptolemy, Ibn al-Shatir, and Copernicus. It also notes that Nicolaus Copernicus resided in the Olsztyn castle for four years. The observatory houses lunar rocks from the Apollo 11 mission, making it the only location in Poland with lunar samples from the mission. Research has used local soil as a simulant for lunar soil in engineering applications.
Educating Space Architects & Moonbase Designers by Sandra Haeuplik-MeusburgerILOAHawaii
The document describes space architecture education programs at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) from 2012-2020. It discusses design studios focused on developing concepts for a Moon village, space stations on the Moon, and a Mars Science City. Students in these studios worked with guest lecturers from space agencies and companies to create architectural proposals. The TU Wien programs analyzed research, provided lectures and workshops, and resulted in prototype development and testing to educate future space architects and base designers.
The document discusses plans for astronomy from the Moon. It describes how the Moon provides advantages as a shield from Earth and Sun, radio quietness on the far side, and permanent darkness in polar craters. The International Lunar Observatory Association outlines several current and planned missions to conduct astronomy from the Moon, including ongoing imaging with Chang'e-3 and planned missions to the lunar south pole. Several countries have ambitious plans over the next decade to conduct further lunar exploration and astronomy, establishing a long term human presence on the Moon.
The document discusses how the lunar surface preserves an astronomically important record in ancient lunar soil (palaeoregoliths). Volatiles can survive in these ancient soils, providing information about astrophysical processes from the past. The document presents two methods for accessing these ancient soils - examining outcrops and drilling - and argues that research outposts on the lunar surface could provide important scientific infrastructure to study the lunar record of astrophysical events.
The document summarizes the Space Generation Congress 2021 event which was held online due to the pandemic. It had 143 delegates from 53 countries who participated in 14 hours of keynote speeches, 7 workshops led by 50 subject matter experts. While the in-person event was cancelled, the organization continued hosting webinars and published past keynotes. They also provide information on scholarships, job opportunities, and mentoring programs on their website.
The document discusses plans to convert an existing 32-meter satellite dish in Greece called ThermopYlae into a radio telescope. It was originally used for telecommunications but is now part of a global effort to repurpose large satellite antennas for radio astronomy research. The document outlines work already completed, such as preliminary measurements and collaborations. Future plans include upgrading receivers, implementing new control systems, and using ThermopYlae for single dish observations and inclusion in radio interferometry networks to help detect astrophysical sources. The document also discusses broader topics like conducting radio astronomy from the moon to study the early universe.
Puli space snooping_for_water_iloa_gfe_2020 tibor pacherILOAHawaii
Puli Space Technologies is a company founded in 2010 that is developing small payloads and instruments to detect water and other resources on the lunar surface. They have field tested prototypes, won NASA challenges, and are working to raise their technology readiness level. Their Puli Lunar Water Snooper uses neutron spectroscopy to detect hydrogen and infer water content in lunar regolith. They plan to fly their instruments on upcoming commercial lunar missions starting in 2021.
The document discusses the potential for lunar ultraviolet observatories. It notes that the Moon provides a stable location with no atmosphere to observe UV radiation from sources like the intergalactic medium, exoplanets, and the Earth's magnetosphere and exosphere. A proposed mission called EarthASAP would use a cubesat in lunar orbit to produce the first 3D map of the Earth's exosphere and monitor interactions between the Earth and solar wind. Such observations from the Moon's perspective could provide important data for studying exoplanets and space weather effects. The document outlines the science goals and technological requirements for EarthASAP and lunar UV observatories more broadly.
