Tamás Szklenár

Data Scientist in Astronomy

Space is filled with meteorite fragments that hold vast amounts of rare earth elements, platinum, and even gold. But how can we extract these materials and bring them back to Earth? Tamás Szklenár is the vice president of the Hungarian Meteoritical Society. He has conducted research at the Harvard-Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, taught for over 10 years, and authored numerous popular science articles across various platforms. At Brain Bar, we’ll ask him: can the economy of the future be built on space mining?
