Christopher Gordon De Pree

(he/him)
Deputy Electromagnetic Spectrum Manager, National Radio Astronomy Observatory

I served as Professor of Physics and Astronomy and Director of Bradley Observatory at Agnes Scott College from 1996-2021. My research interests are high mass star formation as studied with radio telescopes including ALMA and the Very Large Array. In 2021 I accepted a position with the NRAO in the Spectrum Management office. NRAO is working with a number of commercial satellite operators to come up with novel solutions to spectrum coexistence for active and passive users.
