Project PHaEDRA
Project PHaEDRA is an initiative by the Wolbach Library, in collaboration with many partners, to catalog, digitize, transcribe, and enrich the metadata of over 2500 logbooks and notebooks produced by the Harvard Computers and early Harvard astronomers. Our goal is to ensure that this remarkable set of items, created by a remarkable group of people, is as accessible and useful as possible.

MetaSat
MetaSat is a project to develop a metadata schema to describe small satellite missions. We are also partnering with SatNOGS to deploy a series of low cost satellite ground stations at libraries around the globe. I designed and built the website application for MetaSat using python, MySQL, and Django.

Visual Astronomy Display
I started a monthly series collecting videos about astronomy, space engineering, planetary exploration, and rocket science and curated it for three years. I tried to keep the videos current, published only within the last month or so, typically sourced from NASA, ESA, JPL, and other educational providers. A monthly blog post accompanied each playlist. Currently maintained by Wolbach Library’s wonderful student assistants.
