Revision as of 16:53, 11 October 2013

Charles Mattias (Matt) Mountain is the director of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland.[1] He has served as STScI's director since September 2005.[1][2][3] Previously, Mountain was the director of the Gemini Observatory and led the design, construction, and operation of Gemini's two 8-meter telescopes in Hawaii and Chile.[4][5] Mountain is also the telescope scientist for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a member of the JWST Science Working Group, a professor at Johns Hopkins University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, and a visiting professor at the University of Oxford.[6][7]

Education and career

Mountain earned a bachelor of science degree in physics in 1978 and a Ph.D. in astronomy in 1983, both from the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London University.[2][6][7] He held a Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) research fellowship[8] at Imperial College before joining the staff at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh.[7][9] During his seven years in Edinburgh, Mountain worked on observations of star formation processes and led the team that designed and commissioned the CGS-4 infrared array spectrometer for the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope in Hawaii.[9]

Mountain became project scientist for the Gemini 8-meter telescopes project[10] in 1992 and was appointed the director of the International Gemini Project[11] in 1994, leading the team that designed, built, and commissioned the two 8-meter-diameter Gemini telescopes atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii and Cerro Pachón in Chile.[2][9] The book Giant Telescopes: Astronomical Ambitions and the Promise of Technology[12] details the efforts involved in building the Gemini telescopes.[9] During his 12 years leading Gemini, Mountain assumed responsibility for the creation of the Gemini Observatory, which included formulating, implementing, and running the operations and development programs of the two telescopes.[6][9] Mountain also developed a world-renowned adaptive optics group, which kept the Gemini telescopes at the forefront of observational infrared astronomy.[2][5][6][9]

In 2002, NASA appointed Mountain to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Science Working Group[13] as the JWST telescope scientist.[6][9] Mountain worked with the JWST Project[14] to downscale the Webb telescope's primary mirror to an achievable diameter. He represented the scientific interests of the science community on the Mirror Review Board that led to the selection of beryllium mirrors[15][16] for the telescope. He co-chaired the Science Assessment Team[17] in 2005 and was a member of the Test Assessment Team[18] in 2010. Mountain continues to work with NASA, the JWST Project, the instrument teams,[19] and the Science Working Group to ensure that the performance of JWST meets science requirements.[9]

In 2003, Mountain initiated a partnership with the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), resulting in the formation of the New Initiatives Office[20] at the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). The New Initiatives Office conducted a two-year study of the feasibility of ground-based 30-meter telescopes, which led to the inclusion of AURA in the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project. Mountain's related responsibilities have included memberships on the TMT Board and on the review committee of the California Extremely Large Telescope.[6][7]

In 2005, Mountain was appointed the director of the Space Telescope Science Institute by AURA in consultation with NASA.[2] As part of his effort to transform STScI into an adaptable multi-mission and diverse 21st century institute,[21] Mountain reorganized STScI's internal management and oversaw the creation of the Science Mission Office,[22] the Project Management Organization, and the Future of the Workplace Committee[23] to regularly advise the director on issues of inclusion and workplace culture.[9]

As an astrophysicist, Mountain’s research interests have included star formation, advanced infrared instrumentation, and the capabilities of advanced telescopes.[6][7][9] He has led multidisciplinary teams and organizations that have pushed back the scientific and technical frontiers of observational astrophysics.[9] Mountain has published more than 100 research papers, articles, and reports.[24]

Mountain is also a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Johns Hopkins University[7] and a visiting professor at the University of Oxford.[9][25] He is a fellow of the American Astronomical Society, the Royal Astronomical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and is a member of the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE).[6][7][9]

In 2003 Mountain received the Gabriela Mistral Medal for excellence in education by the Chilean Ministry of Education for the Gemini StarTeachers educational program. This was the first time the honor was awarded outside of Chile.[6][9][26]
