// 003 - WHO WE ARE

Born from curiosity,
driven by ambition.

Jewawud Propulsion Laboratory is an independent research collective based in Semarang, Indonesia. We operate at the intersection of three high-frontier disciplines — not because it's easy, but because the universe doesn't care about departmental boundaries.

Our name might sound like a big-budget space agency, and honestly? That's the energy we're going for. We believe remarkable research can come from anywhere — even a city better known for its lumpia than its launch vehicles.

We build things that think, things that see, and things that fly. Sometimes all three at once.

Three pillars.
Infinite possibilities.

01

Artificial Intelligence

Building neural architectures that don't just learn — they reason. From reinforcement learning for autonomous navigation to generative models that design the unimaginable.

Advanced Optics

Bending light to our will. We research photonic metamaterials, adaptive optical systems, and laser propagation — because seeing further starts with understanding how light actually works.
