The telescope will be used to probe the distribution of dark matter
and the characteristics of dark energy, measure the abundance and
characteristics of planets orbiting other stars, and will provide
observations and surveys to study many other astrophysical subjects.
For example, check out my team's 2012 Hubble Space Telescope results on the motion of the Andromeda galaxy M31:
or my team's 2014 Hubble Space Telescope results on the rotation of the
Large Magellanic Cloud

I was born in the Netherlands. I
acquired a love for science at an early age and turned my curiosity into the nature of the
Universe into my profession.
I obtained M.Sc. degrees in astronomy and mathematics at Leiden University, and subsequently a PhD degree in astronomy for a thesis entitled Velocity Profiles and Dynamical Modeling of Galaxies .
NASA then awarded
me a Hubble
Fellowship to come to the United States to continue my research,
where I worked for three years at the Institute for Advanced Study
in Princeton.
There I became a frequent user of the Hubble
Space Telescope.
I then moved to the Space
Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore as the Institute Fellow (later renamed
Giacconi Fellowship).
I stayed at STScI, where I am now a tenured Astronomer on the
scientific staff. I am also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy
of the nearby Johns Hopkins
University.
From 2002-2005, I led the team at STScI responsible for the
calibration and user support of the Advanced Camera for Surveys
(ACS) and Wide
Field Planatery Camera 2 (WFPC2) instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope.
From 2006-2014, I led the team at STScI responsible for issues related
to the telescope optics, focus, and guiding on the future James Webb Space Telescope (to
be launched in 2018).
Since, 2014, I am the STScI
Mission Head for the Wide-Field Infrared Survey
Telescope (WFIRST). As a member of the STScI
Directorate, I also participate in setting the overall direction
for the work of hundreds of people at STScI on multiple NASA space
astronomy missions.
I am an expert on the structure and dynamics of galaxies and stellar
systems in the nearby Universe, and on the central black holes that
they often contain. I have authored hundreds
of papers in scientific journals, books and other publications,
which have been cited
more than 9,000 times. My research and the images that I have
obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope have been discussed on television and radio, and in newspapers, magazines and
museum exhibits around the world.
I am a member of the International
Astronomical Union, the American
Astronomical Society and the Dutch Astronomers Club.
