Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaul Hayne is an Associate Professor and planetary scientist with over a decade of research experience studying icy planets, moons, and Martian polar processes. He combines geophysics, remote sensing, numerical modeling, and instrument calibration—working fluently with languages and tools from Fortran and C/C++ to MATLAB, Unix shell scripting, and imaging pipelines like ISIS. After roles at JPL and Caltech and a Ph.D. from UCLA, he now leads academic research at the University of Colorado Boulder focused on volatiles, polar caps, and climate interactions across the solar system. His work emphasizes inversion techniques and geophysical interpretation, translating spacecraft data into constraints on planetary interiors and surface processes. Based in Denver, he bridges field, lab, and computational methods and is known for marrying rigorous numerical simulation with practical instrument calibration. A less obvious strength is his long-running cross-disciplinary fluency that lets him move between raw instrument data and high-level planetary science questions.
