He is a meteor astronomer with the SETI Institute and NASA Ames Research Center in California and Principal Investigator of the NASA-sponsored Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance (CAMS) project, an international network of low-light video cameras for meteor triangulation. Previously, he authored the 2006 book "Meteor Showers and their Parent Comets", about the dynamical mechanisms of meteoroid stream evolution. Dr. Jenniskens is also the former chair of the International Astronomical Union's Working Group on Meteor Shower Nomenclature and a founding member. |
