  Having received an MSc at the ETH Zurich in Physics in 2006 and a PhD in Planetary Sciences at the University of Münster in collaboration with the European Space Agency and the German Aerospace Center in 2012 with a focus on interfaces between space sciences and geophysics, Dr Vlada Stamenković continued his research and career at MIT, Caltech, and the NASA Jet Propulsion laboratory before joining Blue Origin in 2020 to build the Space Resources Program. He is now the Senior Director of Space Resources at Blue Origin and leads the developments required to live off the land on the Moon and beyond and to use these new technologies to mine and process terrestrial resources sustainably whilst protecting our planet. He is particularly interested in connections between space resources, space exploration, terrestrial mining, green energies and brining more equity to the world.
