Wesley Traub
Chief Scientist, NASA Navigator Program

Wes Traub is the Chief Scientist for NASA's Navigator Program, and the Project Scientist for the Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C). He has been at JPL since June 2005, and before that he was at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics for 37 years. He is particularly interested in coronagraphs and spectroscopy, both needed for TPF-C.

His other ongoing interests include measuring the infrared spectra of the Earths stratosphere using a balloon-borne Fourier-transform spectrometer, and measuring the diameters of stars and disks of material around stars using ground-based interferometers in Arizona, California, and Hawaii.
