Joei Wroten

Joei Wroten serves as a Research Fellow at Boston University's Imaging Science Lab, collaborating across the Departments of Astronomy, Mechanical Engineering, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. Responsibilities include managing a global network of 13 all-sky imager sites, handling instrument installation, remote troubleshooting, and daily data transfer operations while integrating optical datasets with radar, GPS, and satellite observations.

Research centers on Space Physics with emphasis on Earth's ionosphere and geomagnetic phenomena. Key specialties encompass All Sky Imager network management, SAR arc modeling, geomagnetic conjugate analysis, and multi-instrument data fusion techniques. Work focuses on advancing observational methodologies for ionospheric dynamics through optical data reduction and cross-platform dataset integration.

Wroten mentors undergraduate work-study students in instrumentation and data systems while maintaining a public-facing data portal providing next-day access to global all-sky imager observations. The Imaging Science Lab's infrastructure supports continuous ionospheric monitoring and space weather research through its distributed observational network.
