Congratulations to Marcus Miljak for Winning the Founders Award

The Founders Award was presented to Marcus Miljak from the Faculty of Science for his research on extracting oxygen from moon rocks using X-ray science.

Marcus’ work focuses on developing a portable X-ray scanner, refined through computer simulations, to identify rocks rich in oxygen. The technology could make it possible to generate oxygen on the Moon, reducing reliance on supplies from Earth and helping guide the placement of future outposts, observatories and infrastructure.

Congratulations to Marcus for the great work that he’s accomplished!
