NASA has named LPL alumnus Dr. Moses Milazzo as the first Chief Scientist for the Planetary Data Ecosystem (PDE). Moses completed his dissertation, Remote Sensing of Thermally Induced Activity on Io and Mars, with advisor Alfred McEwen in 2005. He is a planetary scientist and educator specializing in visible and near-infrared remote sensing, as well as planetary data processing. Moses has been involved with eight NASA spacecraft missions and has contributed significantly to the development of planetary remote sensing, image processing, cartographic mapping and calibration techniques for a variety of missions and data types. In this new role, Moses will represent the PDE to NASA and serve as a link between the PDE community, the Planetary Data System, and NASA Headquarters.
