Dr. Noroozian currently serves as Strategic Quantum Science Advisor to NASA Goddard’s Office of Chief Technologist, and Goddard’s Quantum Engineering and Sensing (QuEST) lab. He works with technologists, policy makers and strategists across the agency to accelerate development, adoption, and implementation of quantum tech and use cases in Earth Science, Astrophysics, and space comm and nav, and bring awareness of new capabilities in the private sector.
Previously, he was Deputy Chief Technologist for NASA’s Astrophysics Division at HQ, where he helped oversee the technology portfolio and strategic planning (annual tech budget of ~$200M). He is a former NASA Roman Technology Fellow in Astrophysics, Detector Systems Engineer at NASA Goddard, Associate Scientist at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Research Prof at the University of Virginia, Research Scientist at University of Maryland, NASA Postdoctoral Fellow at Goddard‘s Observational Cosmology Lab, and Postdoc at NIST's Quantum Sensors Group. He has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Caltech where he pioneered work on Kinetic Inductance Detectors with the Astrophysics Department, an M.S. in Applied Physics from Caltech, an M.S. in Microelectronics/Physics from Delft University of Technology at the Quantum Nanoelectronics group.
On a scientific level, he has 19 years of experience leading research teams and projects in electro-optical, and microwave cryogenic systems for precision measurements, quantum sensing, and telescopes, from the far-IR/submm to gamma-rays.
