Navid Assi

Research interests:

Navid’s research interests include advancing in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) technologies for space exploration. His research centers on extracting pure metals from lunar regolith to enable sustainable energy production and support the establishment of a long-term human presence on the Moon. He aims to develop efficient and scalable methods for future lunar and planetary operations. He is also interested in nanotechnology, with particular emphasis on the synthesis and application of nanoparticles

Current projects:

• Extraction and recycling of metals from lunar regolith and waste metallic materials
• Synthesis and characterization of energetic nanomaterials
