Her expertise includes mathematical simulations, mission architecture development, proposal development, and optical system engineering. Dr. Lo earned her Bachelor’s degree in Physics at Brown University in Providence, R.I., and her Ph. D. in Astrophysics from UCLA; her doctoral thesis was on the Cosmic Microwave Background. She is a member of the American Astronomical Society, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
