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.
// SEMARANG, INDONESIA — EST. 2025
Pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, advanced optics, and rocket propulsion — from the heart of Java to the edge of space.
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.

}Building neural architectures that don't just learn — they reason. From reinforcement learning for autonomous navigation to generative models that design the unimaginable.
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.
From hybrid motors to ion thrusters — we design, simulate, and test propulsion systems that trade gravity for velocity. Every launch starts with a crazy idea and a lot of math.
A real-time object detection and tracking system that fuses multi-spectral optical sensors with deep learning inference on edge hardware. Designed for autonomous UAV navigation in GPS-denied environments.
A modular hybrid rocket motor test platform using 3D-printed fuel grains and regeneratively-cooled nozzles. Currently in static fire test phase with a target thrust of 500N.
Metamaterial-based reconfigurable intelligent surfaces for adaptive beamforming and wavefront correction. Applications range from satellite communications to astronomical imaging.
An AI-driven thrust vector control system that uses reinforcement learning to optimize flight trajectory in real-time. Because rockets should be smart enough to steer themselves.
We're a compact crew of researchers, engineers, and dreamers. We don't have a foosball table or a mission statement that was A/B tested. We just really like building things that push boundaries.
Physicist turned propulsion engineer. Believes the best way to understand gravity is to escape it.
Looking for fearless engineers and researchers. If you think you belong here, you probably do.
Whether you want to collaborate, contribute, or just geek out about nozzle thermodynamics — we'd love to hear from you.
