Phil Brodrick

I work in the imaging spectroscopy group at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where our team designs, builds, operates, and analyzes the acquisitions of imaging spectrometers.

My research interests span the full arc from measurement to science: atmospheric correction and radiative transfer modeling, machine learning for retrievals (emulators, CNNs, and spectral transformers), and applications including surface mineralogy, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, terrestrial carbon, plant traits, and drought. I'm a strong advocate for open science, and most of what I build is open source.

Before getting into remote sensing, I worked on energy efficiency and power plant design and operations; my PhD focused on computational optimization of solar thermal and natural gas power systems.
