Dr. Anmol Taploo (Cofounder and CTO of JivaJet Inc. And Postdoctoral Associate at GWU) 

Bio (Dr. Anmol Taploo) :  A propulsion systems innovator, Dr. Taploo is the architect behind JivaJet’s Self-Neutralizing Air-Breathing Plasma Thruster (SABPT). His work focuses on extending satellite mission life in VLEO, designing propulsion systems that adapt to atmospheric drag and require no onboard propellant — a leap forward in sustainable space mobility.  He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, during which he invented the Self-Neutralizing Air-Breathing Plasma Thruster (SABPT)—a breakthrough propulsion system enabling sustained satellite operation in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). His innovation inspired DARPA’s Charge Harmony program and has been recognized with multiple awards and patents.
