Andrew Carballo Pineda

Dr. Andrew Pineda is a Research Chemist with the Space Electronics Technology Branch in the Space Vehicles Directorate, US Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland AFB. Dr. Pineda is co-principal investigator of the Spacecraft Performance Analytics and Computing Environment Research (SPACER) project which is examining the ability of various computer architectures to meet the needs of future space systems. His research interests span the range from the development and use of quantum mechanical methods for the understanding of the electrical properties of semiconductor materials in space to the application of high performance computing methods to space-based computing. Dr. Pineda earned his undergraduate degree in Chemistry from Harvey Mudd College (Claremont, CA) and his masters (Chemistry) and Ph.D. (Physical Chemistry) degrees from Harvard University (Cambridge, MA). He worked for the University of New Mexico (UNM), initially as a postdoctoral researcher and later as a Senior Research Scientist.
