Greg Flesch works as a Senior Computer Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena CA.
He has been at JPL since 1992 and works in the Atmospheric Laser Spectroscopy Group, writing software for the group's tunable-diode laser spectrometers. The group is involved in ongoing NASA campaigns for atmospheric studies and has spectrometers onboard NASA aircraft and balloons. Recently the group was part of a winning proposal to build a Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS) for the MSL payload launching in December 2009.
Greg also writes software to aid in the reduction, analysis and mining of spectral data. He manages the computing resources for the group and is the defacto system administrator and webmaster.
Greg has recently finished his Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Southern California.
