Gregory F. Snyder

Dr. Gregory F. Snyder is an Archive Scientist at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), where he manages the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). His research focuses on galaxy formation and evolution, integrating numerical simulations with observational data from missions like the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and future initiatives such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. He explores the role of physics in early universe galaxy assembly and evaluates how upcoming telescopes will advance our understanding of cosmic structures.

Dr. Snyder holds a PhD in Astronomy & Astrophysics and an MA in Astronomy from Harvard University, alongside an AB in Astrophysical Sciences from Princeton University. He collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to optimize data-simulation synergy and is a member of the American Astronomical Society (AAS).

His work emphasizes high-redshift galaxy studies, supermassive black hole dynamics, and dust's impact on galactic evolution. He actively contributes to mission planning for next-generation telescopes like LUVOIR to ensure scientific readiness for emerging observational capabilities.
