Aaron Yung, Ph.D., is a theorist working on what he calls the "mission of the century," the James Webb Space Telescope team. He has been making predictions via galaxy models for the JWST team since he was a graduate student five years ago. During this podcast, host Michael Holtz and Yung discuss the science behind predictive modeling and what it means to be a scientist telling the story of the universe.
Alejandro Borlaff, Ph.D., recently completed his NASA Postdoctoral Program experience at NASA Ames, and will continue working for NASA on a number of collaborative projects. He has a long-term interest in space telescopes and Borlaff has gotten to do some amazing work in this area. He calls himself an "ophthalmologist for space telescopes." In this podcast, Borlaff talks about his work, how his interest in science developed, and how he moved from Spain to fulfill his NASA dreams.
