About Apoorva K.
As an Aerospace Engineer and PhD researcher at The University of Texas at Austin, I specialize in the technical and policy challenges surrounding satellite interference and jamming in the geostationary (GEO) orbital regime.My research lies at the convergence of orbital mechanics, electromagnetic interference modeling, and space security—with a mission to ensure the safe, sustainable, and secure use of outer space. I work on developing tools to detect, analyze, and attribute radio frequency interference and jamming, particularly in GEO, where satellites play a critical role in global communications, defense, and commercial infrastructure.In parallel, I explore the broader implications of these threats through the lens of international space policy and spectrum governance, advocating for data-driven approaches to shaping norms and frameworks that address both technical and geopolitical complexities.Beyond the lab, I am a certified meditation instructor with the International Association for Human Values and Art of Living Foundation, and have been practicing meditation for over five years. This practice deeply informs my approach to research, leadership, and life — cultivating clarity, focus, and resilience in high-stakes environments.
