DESCRIPTION:Understanding our universe has been a timeless pursuit\, captiv
 ating humanity for countless generations. I propose that THz science and e
 ngineering play a unique and pivotal role in deepening this understanding.
  In this talk\, I will highlight how microwave and THz technology contribu
 te to exploring fundamental scientific questions\, such as the origin of w
 ater on Earth. Furthermore\, critical measurements—such as determining w
 ind velocities in the troposphere and detecting plumes on Europa—rely on
  microwave instruments\, particularly those operating in the THz range. A 
 key enabler of these discoveries is the development of compact\, robust\, 
 and accessible THz instruments. Recent advancements in THz systems have pa
 ved the way for a new generation of space instruments that are significant
 ly more capable and resilient than before\, opening an unprecedented windo
 w into our universe. This makes it an exciting time to be a microwave engi
