Shouleh Nikzad
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Fellow and Senior Research Scientist Shouleh Nikzad is recognized internationally for her contributions to ultraviolet (UV), optical, and near-infrared technologies, particularly detectors. Her development of detectors with high sensitivity and tailorable response has enabled UV astrophysics in CubeSat and smallsat platforms, such as the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) and Dorado, a wide field-of-view mission concept with a primary objective to detect UV counterparts to gravitational waves.
