Joseph Hora is an Astronomer in the Optical/Infrared division of the CfA, and currently part of the Interstellar Ices investigation for the SPHEREx mission, which will perform an all-sky spectral survey from 0.75 - 5 microns. Previously, Joseph was Project Scientist for the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on the Spitzer Space Telescope, and has performed many Galactic science programs using Spitzer and other ground- and space-based data. His research has lately included observations of young stellar objects and massive star formation, mid-IR observations of the variable emission from the Galactic Center black hole, and characterization of near-earth asteroids. Joseph has also been project scientist on several ground-based near- and mid-IR instruments, including the MIRAC and MIRSI mid-IR cameras used on the NASA IRTF telescope, and the NIRI camera on Gemini.
