Galaxy Forum Waimea 2013 - Joseph Sulla - ILOA Global HQILOAHawaii
The International Lunar Observatory Association is developing several lunar observatory missions and plans to build a global headquarters facility in Hawaii. The ILO's missions will conduct astronomical observations from the moon including searching for Earth-like exoplanets and signs of life on other planets. The association aims to build a 2500 square foot headquarters complex on the Big Island to manage lunar missions, receive and process mission data, conduct research, and serve as an education center. The facility will advance Hawaii's leadership in astronomy without additional development on Mauna Kea and provide employment and education opportunities.

ILO-1 Moon South Pole: A new frontier as exciting and enriching as Humans on Mars or trillion dollar asteroids, and much closer in space and time.
Pursuing a series of Moon-based observatory missions to complement Earth-based and Space-based astronomy, ILOA seeks to advance Galaxy Imaging for 21st century astronomy education with its ILO-1 primary mission 2-meter radio antenna to Malapert Mt. 86°S 2.7°E near the Moon’s South Pole, with an ILO-X precursor mission aboard a GLXP lander, and with a Human Service Mission to the ILO-1 / robotic village new world frontier.
ILOA is also collaborating with the National Astronomical Observatories – Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT) at Mare Imbrium 44°N 20°W aboard the China Chang’e-3 Moon Lander, the first spacecraft to land on the Moon in almost 40 years and the only spacecraft operating on the lunar surface. Conducting science-driven and education-based Astronomy from the Moon via LUT is a foundational success of international cooperation on which the ILOA intends to build.
More than 40 years since the Far Ultraviolet Camera / Spectrograph operated on the Descartes Highlands by NASA Apollo 16 Commander and ILOA Board of Director Emeritus John Young in April 1972, ILOA is drawing together resources from across the planet to reclaim the cosmic revolution of Humanity as a Multi World Species.

Product management is inherently complex, as it spans skills across multiple domains and over the past few years, especially digital product development frameworks, job titles etc. have been in constant flux. When dealing with complex problems it sometimes helps to zoom out, to understand what remains constant when the world around us change.
This talk takes a meta view on leading product development and will focus on three ingredients that drive success and failure in most projects. Based on experience from many projects across different disciplines at ustwo, we want to share an approach that balances focus and flexibility to consistently deliver quality products.

Voice of The Customer (VoC) Presentation - Startup RoadshowShervin Talieh
This document discusses how consumer behavior and communication preferences are changing rapidly due to new technologies. It argues that traditional enterprise tactics are not keeping up with these changes and that new brands will emerge to better connect with customers. It provides examples of how communication technologies have evolved over time and asserts that customers now expect interactions to be contextual, mobile, community-oriented, and involve asynchronous communications. The document suggests that enterprises need to design customer experiences from the customer's perspective rather than the enterprise's processes and metrics. It advocates for more authentic and conversational interactions across channels to build personal-emotional connections with customers.

This document presents an analysis of metallicity gradients in the Milky Way disk as observed by the SEGUE survey. The key findings are:
1) The radial metallicity gradient (change in [Fe/H] with Galactic radius R) becomes flatter at heights above the plane (|Z|) greater than 1 kpc.
2) The median metallicity at large |Z| is consistent with outer disk open clusters, which also exhibit a flat radial gradient of [Fe/H] ∼ -0.5.
3) A flat metallicity gradient at high |Z| has implications for models of thick disk formation, as different formation scenarios predict different metallicity patterns in the thick disk.

This document describes the process of communicating scientific research to non-specialists through a magazine article about planetary system formation. It involves taking data and concepts from scientific papers and reworking them so a general audience can understand. Notes are taken on a paper discussing spiral density waves in protoplanetary disks caused by planets or other stars. A draft description of this is written for the magazine article. Graphics show the evolution of a hypothetical planetary system from the initial disk to fully formed planets. Spectra correspond to different evolutionary stages. The goal is to make scientific breakthroughs accessible to the public.

Delivery of dark_material_to_vesta_via_carbonaceous_chondritic_impactsSérgio Sacani
This document analyzes dark material (DM) observed on the surface of asteroid Vesta by NASA's Dawn spacecraft. Spectral analysis finds the DM has properties similar to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites mixed with Vestan surface materials. Laboratory experiments matching the albedo and absorption bands of DM used mixtures of carbonaceous chondrites and eucrite basalt. Impact modeling suggests the DM was delivered via impacts of carbonaceous chondrite asteroids during the formation of the large Veneneia impact basin on Vesta. This supports the idea that carbonaceous chondrites were an important early source of carbon and volatiles in the solar system.
The document summarizes the International Lunar Observatory Association's (ILOA) Galaxy Imaging Program and its goals of conducting astronomy from the Moon. It provides details on ILOA's 4 planned Moon missions between 2020-2023, including its ongoing collaboration with China to use the Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope on the Chang'e-3 lander. It also describes ILOA's plans to establish an observatory and educational headquarters in Hawaii near existing astronomical facilities on Mauna Kea.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Graduate Research Assistant/Fellow
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 2002-2005, 2010-2011/2011-2015
I identified and developed an analytic framework to answer an outstanding question in astrophysics about
how stars move about the Galactic center. I then validated my work using simulations and predicted
its significance via modeling. The results will likely be included in the next generation of textbooks on
galactic dynamics.
• Extensively used the following applied mathematics techniques: perturbation theory, chaos,
non-linear dynamics, and hyper-geometric functions
• Constructed statistical models based on distribution functions using object oriented program-
ming in C++ and Python. The results will be used in future semi-analytic galaxy models and
to interpret the results of galaxy simulations
• Built, debugged and implemented a numerical integrator to simulate gravity in a complex
potential using C++ to numerically test and confirm the robustness of my analytic theories
• Mined, analyzed and visualized spectral data from the 25 TB Sloan Digital Sky Survey database
and Gemini Deep Deep Survey using SQL and IDL
• Received over $162,500 in fellowships and other awards to support my independent studies, plus
over $13,000 toward travel expenses

Was one of two US citizens chosen to be a student participant in this highly selective workshop, with
30 student participants from around the world. I formulated a method to solve “the most ambitious
problem” presented at the workshop. My proposal was accepted and I collaborated in a small group on
this project.
• Constructed an analytic distribution function that can be numerically integrated to derive
multiple statistical properties of certain stellar systems
• Built an object oriented numerical integrator in Python to quantify the stability of the distri-
bution function
• Awarded travel and tuition fellowships from both CITA and JHU as an incentive to attend

Gaia is a space telescope mission launched in December 2013 and manufactured by the European Space
Agency. It will measure the positions, motions and spectra of over a billion stars with unprecedented
accuracy, each more than 70 times over 5 years resulting in over a PB of data. International Gaia Schools
are exclusive and typically for European students only, but I was accepted as an exceptional case. We
were trained to mine, interpret and analyze Gaia data and then collaborated in small groups to perform
original science experiments to determine the power and limitations of the mission.
• Produced simulated Gaia data from analytic models and large scale simulations of galaxies and
analyzed how observational uncertainties could affect the science results
The 2010 Summer School for Astro-Computing: Galaxy Simulations
UC High Performance Astro-Computing Center, Santa Cruz, CA, USA Summer 2010
Gained intimate knowledge of the underlying mathematics and structure, and therefore the strengths and
weaknesses, of various galaxy simulation packages in order to correctly analyze the simulated data and to
critically scrutinize published results.
• Simulated galaxy evolution on HPCC supercomputers using state-of-the-art N-body, spheri-
cal particle hydrodynamic, and hydrodynamic adaptive mesh refinement simulation software
packages: Gadget-2, Gasoline, Enzo, Ramses & ART
Adjunct Faculty/Lecturer
Towson University, Towson, MD 2006-2008/2008-2009
Designed and taught both conceptual and calculus based courses in physics, astronomy and physical
science at a large state university.
• Conceived and wrote a new astronomy lab curriculum
Research Assistant
West Chester University, West Chester, PA 2000-2002
JILA, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO Summer 2001
• Constructed a multi-dimensional database that was critical to determining key results
• Analyzed x-ray spectra using XSPEC fitting software and Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics
• Cleaned, analyzed and visualized x-ray image data
• Conceptualized and implemented a novel idea to create a false color movie to visualize x-ray
data using IDL
