Meet the Expert: Joe DePasquale, Senior Data Imaging Developer

Currently, Joe is the senior Data Imaging Developer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, Joe. Prior to joining STScI in March of 2017, I he was the Science Imager for NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. If you’ve ever seen a space image with X-ray data in it, you’ve probably seen Joe’s work. He has always been fascinated by the immensity and complexity of the universe and our search for meaning within it.

Having a background in both art and science has given Joe a unique skill set. He uses art and aesthetics to prepare astronomical data for the creation of press-quality imagery in support of STScI’s outreach activities. Check out some of Joe’s amazing images on his website: www.jdepasquale.com
