He is a recognized specialist and early advocate of in-space manufacturing, frequently publishing, teaching, and speaking about how microgravity-enabled manufacturing can unlock differentiated materials and biologics, giving him a distinctive thesis and network in a niche that many generalist space investors only touch lightly.
