Dr. Jeffrey Newmark is a Research Astrophysics at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, specializing in solar physics mission development. Dr. Newmark has over thirty years of experience, recently focusing on management and leadership pertaining to scientific, technical, and flight programs in Heliophysics. Currently, he is Principal Investigator of the Coronal Diagnostic Experiment (CODEX), a new technology solar coronagraph in development for the International Space Station. He is also Principal Investigator of a new technology miniature coronagraph selected for ground testing. Prior to re-joining Goddard, he was named the Deputy Associate Administrator for Research within NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters from June 2016 – June 2017. Dr. Newmark received his Ph.D. in Astronomy from the Pennsylvania State University in 1990 and worked at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center until 2001 on the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) missions. From 2001 until 2009 he worked at the US Naval Research Laboratory where he was Project Scientist on two NASA sounding rocket experiments and helped develop the Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) experiment on board the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft. From 2009 until 2016 Dr. Newmark worked as a Program Scientist in the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters, including 1 year as Interim Division Director.
