Marc Kuchner

Marc Kuchner (born August 7, 1972) is an American astrophysicist, and the Citizen Science Officer at NASA Headquarters. He is known for his work on citizen science, and imaging of disks and exoplanets. Together with Wesley Traub, he invented the band-limited coronagraph, used on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), originally designed for the proposed Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) telescope. He is also known for his novel supercomputer models of planet-disk interactions and for developing the ideas of ocean planets, carbon planets, and helium planets. Kuchner appears as an expert commentator in the National Geographic television show "Alien Earths" and frequently answers the "Ask Astro" questions in Astronomy Magazine. Kuchner helped found several citizen science projects, including Disk Detective and Backyard Worlds. Provided by Wikipedia
