Moriba Jah, an associate professor in the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム of Engineering’s Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at UT Austin, made history this year as the first aerospace engineer ever to be selected as a TED Fellow. As a TED Fellow, Jah joins a class of 20 carefully selected visionary speakers from across the globe who will deliver talks on the TED stage this April in Vancouver.
The TED Fellows program, founded in 2009, is highly competitive and consists of over 400 cross-disciplinary visionaries across 96 countries. Fellows are selected based on their innovative approach to solving the world’s toughest problems, their remarkable achievements and their strength of character. The program’s mission is to bring together international young innovators from a variety of disciplines to raise global awareness of their work and to create positive change around the world. Fellowsinclude engineers, scientists, doctors, activists, artists, entrepreneurs, inventors, journalists and beyond.
Jah, a self-proclaimed “ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム environmentalist” who has been working on the problem of “ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム junk” orbiting Earth for over a decade, was selected for his research in astrodynamics regarding ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム situational awareness and ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム traffic monitoring and control.His research group at UT Austin’s Advanced Sciences and Technology Research in Astronautics (ASTRIA) program recently developedASTRIAGraph, the first searchable knowledge graph for ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム traffic monitoring which combines multiple sources of information about ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム debris orbiting the Earth.
Working with experts from across a variety of fields, Jah's ultimate goal is to find a global solution to tracking and managing the nearly 500,000 objects that are currently orbiting the planet. Ranging from the size of cell phones to large satellites, only 23,000 of these objects are currently being tracked, many of which are small satellites used for cell-phone signaling, weather forecasting and more. Jah says that if the ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム debris issue isn’t addressed and monitored at an international level, more ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム collisions will occur which could cause compounding issues with ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム exploration, operations and commerce.
“I’m so honored to be selected into the TED Fellows tribe,” said Jah, in a recent TED press release. “I can’t wait to meet the rest of the TED team and collaborate with my TED Fellows on solving this wicked ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム environmental problem. TED believes that preserving and cleaning outer ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム for humankind’s benefit is an idea worth spreading!”
Jah joined Texas ASE/EM in 2017. He is also a core faculty member of the UT AustinInstitute for Computational ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム and Sciences(ICES). Read more about his crusade to inform the public about the growing ラーメンベット 禁止ゲーム debris issue in theTexas Engineer.
