Biography

Dr. Carey Lisse has over 40 years of experience in experimental and observational research that includes studies in astrophysics, detector physics, (bio)chemical physics, optics, electronics, and remote sensing data analysis. His overall goals are to better understand the formation & evoution of solar systems. At JHU-APL, he is involved with studying the physical properties of primitive solar system objects; the rock-forming dust contained in comets, the IPD cloud, the Proto-Solar Nebula, and YSOs; x-ray emission from solar system bodies and the heliosphere; and designing, building, and operating Solar System spacecraft missions.
