Improving our physical world through entrepreneurship in engineering.
I am disappointed with the state of space technology. By all reasonable projections of the 20th century, we should be a spacefaring civilization by now, yet we are still far from it. What happened — and more importantly, how can we still achieve that goal in our lifetimes? I grew up with pictures of futuristic [ ] The post Our Future in Space Depends on a New Type of Engineering appeared first on…
2 weeks ago, we hot fired the 20,000 horsepower thruster, which was designed using the computational model I wrote, Noyron RP. It s the first rocket engine designed by a computational AI, and the first liquid fuel rocket engine to be designed in the United Arab Emirates. It took less than two weeks from final spec [ ] The post Test-firing my Noyron TKL-5 thruster appeared first on Josefine Lissner…
Read my full opnion piece over at TCT Magazine Industrial 3D printing, additive manufacturing (AM), has hit the bottom of the Gartner Hype Cycle. Many people are giving up hope that it will ever come back. Hasn’t it been overblown, and is additive manufacturing maybe just a tool for niche applications? Not at all. Industrial 3D [ ] The post The economics of additive manufacturing are broken, here…
Ross Palmer hosted me on his podcast Future Optimist. We covered a lot of ground, from what we are doing with LEAP 71 to topics like how to overcome adversity, and the importance of having the right partner in work and life in general.

Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are organizing the general body of knowledge of humanity. Ask any question, and you get an eloquent answer. It seems only a matter of time, until LLMs emerge that know everything , that will be super-intelligent and outperform humans on every level. Or maybe not. As I have said many [ ] The post On Tribal Knowledge, LLMs and Computational Knowledge in…
I enjoyed talking to Jousef Murad about my work at LEAP 71, what we are doing with PicoGK, and how Computational Engineering is changing how we build physical objects. The post Josefine Lissner on Computational Engineering / Jousef Murad Podcast appeared first on Josefine Lissner and Lin Kayser .
In this article, I talk about the reasoning behind the reduced instruction set architecture of PicoGK, our open-source geometry kernel, which forms the foundation of the LEAP 71 technology stack. Reduced instruction set architectures are not a new concept, and in the following text, I dive a bit into their history and how it eventually led [ ] The post RISC in PicoGK — or why we deliberately…
A big shoutout to TCT Magazine s Sam Davies for sitting down with me and Lin to talk about the demise of Hyperganic and how we are executing along the original vision with our new company, LEAP 71. We think the Additive Manufacturing industry is in crisis mode, because of its lack of focus on end-user products. [ ] The post 3D printing is a science expirement right now — Josefine and Lin speak…
