 Dr. Vincent Pisacane was the Robert A. Heinlein Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the United States Naval Academy where he taught courses in space exploration, space systems, and the design of spacecraft. He was previously at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory where he was the Head of the Space Department, Director of the Institute for Advanced Science and Technology in Medicine, and Assistant Director for Research and Exploratory Development. He concurrently held a joint academic appointment in biomedical engineering at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He has been the principal investigator on several NASA funded grants. He is a fellow of the AIAA. He currently teaches graduate courses in space systems at the Johns Hopkins University. In addition he has taught short courses and webinars on these topics. He has authored over a hundred research papers on space systems and
bioastronautics and several books. |
