Work Experience

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Haystack Observatory, Westford, MA

• One of my primary responsibilities is to assess the quality of data obtained from the VGOS sessions correlated at Haystack and provide feedback to our group, when necessary, to improve the quality of the session. I ensure that we provide quality VGOS products to NASA on time. I also check if the database can be imported and processed using commonly used VLBI processing software such as VieVS and nuSolve, and produces consistent geodetic results. This is an important task because we want to continue being a leader in the field of VGOS correlation.

• I am also responsible for researching and evaluating the usefulness of VGOS product (over S/X Legacy product) in geodetic positioning and estimation of earth rotation parameters. This will be an important contribution to the geodetic community which will help the VGOS network grow larger in the future.
