Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Dose is an experimental scientist-turned-technical instigator who builds automation and computational workflows to turn sporadic measurements into reliable, usable data—from chromatography and mass spectrometry to quantitative biology and astronomical light curves. Over a 12+ year professional arc he led teams at Hill’s Pet Nutrition and major food and flavor companies, modernizing labs, sequencing and analytics pipelines, and cutting operational turnaround dramatically. He now runs the New Mexico Mira Project, where his semi-automated scheduling and telescope prototype reduced nightly planning from hours to minutes and produced thousands of validated observations to fill critical gaps for professional astronomers. Known for spotting domains where available technology is underused, he repeatedly delivers practical computation and automation to close those gaps. Based in Albuquerque, he recently stepped back from astronomy and active coding (March 2025), while keeping his code permissively available for others to adapt.
