Dr. Wiseman studies star forming regions of our galaxy using radio, optical, and infrared telescopes, with a particular interest in molecular cloud cores, protostars, and outflows. Dr. Wiseman discovered periodic comet 114P/Wiseman-Skiff while working as an undergraduate research assistant in 1987
Dr. Jennifer Wiseman grew up on a farm in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas, where she learned to appreciate the night sky and the natural world. She received a PhD in astronomy from Harvard University, followed by research in star formation as a Jansky Fellow at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and as a Hubble Fellow at the Johns Hopkins University. She later served as the Program Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope at NASA Headquarters, and then for several years headed the Laboratory for Exoplanets and Stellar Astrophysics at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where she is now the Senior Project Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope.
