Dr. Daniel Engelhart, Research Team Leader, Hedgefog Research Inc., has extensive experience in remote sensing physics, space weather modeling and simulation, space domain awareness, spectroscopic identification of resident space objects, planetary defense, in-situ resource utilization, and radiation-material interactions. He has been the primary investigator on several projects involving the development of laboratory-based radiation sources, in-situ material characterization, and experiments deployed on the International Space Station as well as a recently delivered Lunar mission. He investigated on-orbit arcing of satellites detected using radio astronomy, spacecraft anomaly resolution, and performed evaluation of the arcing behavior of novel photovoltaic architectures, including the Roll Out Solar Array, under worst-case space weather conditions. He received his B.A. in Chemistry and German from the University of South Dakota, his M.S. in Chemistry from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and performed his PhD research (physical chemistry) at the Fritz-Haber Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry.
