During the International Space University Space Studies Program 2024, hosted at NASA Johnson Space Center and Rice University, I led the project management team and served as lead editor for the International Lunar University project.

The work was interdisciplinary rather than technical: a proposal for how lunar research and public engagement might be organised institutionally, developed with an international team under the supervision of Jacob Cohen, Chief Scientist at NASA Ames. It was later presented at the International Astronautical Congress 2024 as "International Lunar University: The Dawn of Interplanetary Education".
