VLBA Principal Scientist Appointed

Jim Ulvestad

Jim Ulvestad

I am very pleased to announce that Jim Ulvestad has agreed to serve as Principal Scientist for the VLBA. In this position, Jim will bring his well-known expertise and eloquence to bear as the primary science advocate for the VLBA to the astronomical community. Outreach to scientific communities lying beyond NRAO's traditional VLBI user core will be a major focus of his efforts.

This work is a natural extension of Jim's ongoing efforts as head of NRAO's New Initiatives Office, to develop funding and other operational partnerships for the VLBA.
