Paul Wagner

Education

B.S., Physics, California Institute of Technology (1976)

Projects

MLS - Microwave Limb Sounder
The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) experiments measure naturally-occurring microwave thermal emission from the limb (edge) of Earth's atmosphere to remotely sense vertical profiles of atmospheric gases, temperature, pressure, and cloud ice.

Professional Experience

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Member of Technical Staff (1979-Present)

Developed software for processing data from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instrument aboard the Earth-orbiting Aura spacecraft. (2000-Present)
Developed software for simulating impact dynamics of a projectile against various materials and geometries. (1996-2000)
Developed software for predicting the performance of microwave and electromagnetic heating and positioning of materials for processing in space. (1992-1996)
Developed software used in predicting sound radiation from submarines, vibrational modes of large space structures, acoustic levitation in processing space materials, the stability of spinning spacecraft with partially-filled fuel tanks, and thermally driven flows in molten drops. (1979-1992)
