As the Principal Investigator for AIA, I am responsible for the execution of the instrument development in order to meet the mission's science goals.
My job is to see that the mission's goals are achieved. In particular, I am concerned that the SDO data is available to the widest possible community in the most rapid and most useful form.
Getting to do the new science each mission allows.
I don't work for NASA. NASA works for me by providing the infrastructure that allows the development of space missions.
I went to the University of California, Los Angeles, and got a B.A. in Mathematics and Caltech and got a PhD in Physics.
My first job was working in my Dad's drug store. My second job was as a Research Fellow at Caltech.
I don't work for NASA. I'm a Corporate Senior Fellow at Lockheed Martin and a Professor of Physics at Stanford University.
I've been working on NASA projects as the member of a science team since 1967.
I've been working on the goals of SDO for two decades.
