I'm Jilani Abedin — a young founder and independent researcher, still early in the journey. My work sits at the intersection of aerospace, defence technology and artificial intelligence, and my focus right now is learning deeply, building carefully and thinking on a long horizon.
I'm not trying to look impressive. I'm trying to understand hard problems, ship small things that teach me a lot, and slowly build the foundations for real deep-tech work over the next decade.
I currently work as a Founder's Office Intern at Abyom SpaceTech & Defence, and I'm always open to conversations with people who take technology, research and long-term building seriously.
Studying propulsion, avionics, mission thinking and sovereign capability from first principles.
Following the frontier of reasoning, autonomy and multi-modal systems, and thinking about where they meet the physical world.
Small experiments, honest notes and a long-horizon research direction rather than shortcuts.
Current focus.
The domains where I spend my time, attention and research energy right now — all oriented toward building real deep-tech capability over the long term.
Aerospace Research
Advancing next-generation propulsion, avionics, guidance and mission systems through first-principles thinking.
Defence Technology Research
Exploring sovereign capability, autonomous systems and trustworthy technologies for national and strategic security.
Artificial Intelligence Research
Studying reasoning, autonomy and multi-modal systems that can operate safely in high-stakes physical and strategic domains.
Deep Technology Research
Pursuing breakthroughs at the edge of physics, engineering and computation where the hardest problems create durable advantage.
Advanced Manufacturing
Investigating precision fabrication, aerospace-grade production methods and scalable hardware systems for real-world deployment.
Emerging Technologies
Tracking quantum sensing, future mobility, space infrastructure and the foundational technologies that will shape the next century.
Research areas I'm exploring.
How reasoning, autonomy and multi-modal systems can be applied to real-world problems.
Propulsion, avionics, guidance and mission systems — from first principles.
Small satellites, orbital platforms and long-term in-space infrastructure.
Sovereign capability, uncrewed systems and trustworthy autonomy.
Real-time control and safety-critical thinking for hardware that must not fail.
Perception, planning and how machines act meaningfully in the physical world.
eVTOL, autonomous ground platforms and next-generation propulsion.
Sensing, secure communication and the long-horizon compute frontier.
Journey.
A short arc so far — early, honest and still unfolding.
