Ram Jakhu

Recognized under Tier 10 — Martian Law & Finance, Ram Jakhu is one of the world's leading scholars of international space law and policy. Jakhu's research at McGill University's Institute of Air and Space Law — spanning satellite regulation, space resource governance, and the evolution of international space law institutions — has established Jakhu as one of the most authoritative voices on the legal frameworks governing humanity's activities in outer space. As those frameworks come under increasing pressure from commercial operators, national programs, and the eventual prospect of human settlement on Mars, Jakhu's scholarship contributes directly to the intellectual infrastructure needed to update and strengthen them.
