Luka Pejic
Currently a 2nd-year Master's student at TU Wien, researching the intersection of habitat design, closed ecological systems and long-duration human spaceflight.
Every design decision in my projects is grounded in peer-reviewed research across biology, physics, chemistry, material sciences, engineering and human factors.
I'm currently presenting research at the 24th IAA Humans in Space Symposium and the International Astronautical Congress 2026, developing a methodology for personalised biological life support systems.
