He’ll share stories from his time working on the observatory\, and discuss highlights from the wealth of data that JWST has brought us: awe-inspiring planets\, nearby nebulae\, baby stars\, and the farthest galaxies humans have ever seen. \nBio: Dr. Kevin Hainline is an astronomy professor and researcher on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRCam science team at The University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory. His research focuses on hunting for hidden supermassive black holes\, and he’s currently using JWST to find and understand the most extreme\, distant galaxies in the early universe. He received his PhD from UCLA in 2012 and spent three years as a researcher and professor at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire before moving to Tucson to work on JWST. Kevin has a passion for science outreach education\, and has spoken about astronomy and our relation to the stars at events around the world.
