Brief Bio
Many years of space instrument hardware development and remote sensing experience with direct contributions to the following NASA flight programs: Pressure Modulated Infra-Red Radiometer (PMIRR) on Mars Observer; Composite Infra-Red Spectrometer (CIRS) on Cassini; Gas and Aerosol Monitoring Sensor-craft (GAMS); Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) and James Web Space Telescope (JWST). Currently is the Payload Experiment Lead for the Compact Ultraviolet to Visible Spectrometer (CUVIS) and a Co-I on the DAVINCI Mission to Venus, to be launched in late 2030 timeframe.
