Data scientist Dr. Joe Twicken’s background is in signal processing. During his career, Dr. Twicken developed and operated science processing pipelines supporting several planetary missions: Magellan, Galileo, Mars Global Surveyor, and Mars Express.
Dr. Matt Tiscareno studies how things move in the solar system. He led the discovery of small moons embedded in Saturn’s rings, seen indirectly by the propeller-shaped disturbances they create in the surrounding ring material.
Dr. Tiscareno is also interested in how moons rotate. He was part of a team that used a tiny wobble in the rotation of Saturn’s moon Enceladus to prove that the moon’s subsurface water extends globally as a subsurface ocean.
Dr. Steve Croft is a radio astronomer working on the Breakthrough Listen technosignature search project with UC Berkeley SETI Research Center (BSRC), where he leads Listen's observational program on the 100-meter Green Bank Telescope.
At the SETI Institute, Dr. Croft is involved in SETI research with the Allen Telescope Array, making the array accessible to outside experts as part of the open-source GNU Radio project.
