Since 2002, I have been part of the instrument team for the Cosmic
Origins Spectrograph (COS), a sensitive UV spectrograph destined for
installation on the Hubble Space Telescope. In 2005, I was named
COS Project Scientist, responsible for developing guaranteed time
observations, serving as the liason between the instrument team and the
flight and for publicizing COS capabilities and results.
