SunRISE is a NASA Heliophysics Mission of Opportunity that will launch 6 satellites into GEO orbit in 2024 to create the first synthetic aperture in space, imaging solar radio bursts from 0.1 - 25 MHz. He is also the Heliophysics/Astrophysics representative on the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group. Dr. Hegedus is also involved with studies for FARSIDE, a concept array to go to the lunar far side, whose chief scientific target is the absorption troughs of the redshifted neutral hydrogen 21-cm signal in the 10-40 MHz range to probe the so called “Dark Ages” and constrain cosmological models of the early universe. He has been working closely with the science and engineering teams, simulating the performance of different array configurations across different deployment strategies. His research interests include Heliophysics, Radio Astronomy, Lunar Science, Scientific Computing, and Machine Learning.
