About the Author
As both an astronomer and a software developer, Dr. Albert Conrad has developed and used software systems for all phases of observing: from planning the observation, to taking the data, to analyzing the data in preparation for publication. Dr. Conrad’s research interests include asteroid systems and developing novel techniques to study comets, planets, and the moons of planets, in particular Jupiter’s moon Io. His complete bibliography includes nearly 100 publications including 24 articles in refereed journals. These range from his early software designs for the Keck Observatory to his discovery of a small moon orbiting the asteroid 41 Daphne. He enjoys sharing the results of his research through public lectures and classroom visits.
Dr. Conrad received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1994. He then worked as software engineer and support astronomer at both Lick and Keck Observatories before moving to the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy to lead the development of a next generation adaptive optics system. He enjoys cycling, running, and outrigger canoe paddling.
