Joan joined JPL as a postdoctoral researcher in September 2021, and he is currently a Technologist. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and he has contributed to several remote sensing missions, from CubeSats to “big” satellites. He is currently working in the SMAP science team and in the Cold Atom Laboratory technology team. He is also the P.I. of a ROSES-awarded project to monitor sea-ice thickness using GNSS reflectometry.
