About

Jose Mulino is a forward-thinking researcher whose work lies at the intersection of space systems engineering and advanced digital design. His primary research areas include Simulation-Based Design (SBD), virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) applications, and the conceptualization of lunar mission infrastructure. Mulino’s major contribution is his pioneering application of SBD principles to transportation and material handling challenges for future lunar missions, demonstrating how digital mockups and immersive technologies can streamline complex engineering planning. His most-cited paper, "Exploring the role of Simulation-Based Design principles in support of transportation and material handling activities for the Lunar Mission" (2019), has garnered 4 citations, establishing a foundational reference for integrating VR/AR into space logistics. This work highlights his ability to bridge theoretical design methodologies with practical, mission-critical applications. Mulino’s research is particularly notable for its forward-looking approach, offering a blueprint for how digital twins and simulation tools can reduce risk and cost in extraterrestrial construction and resource movement. By championing SBD in the context of lunar exploration, he is helping shape the next generation of engineering practices for humanity’s return to the Moon.
