Wen-Hsien Chuang has played important roles in inventing and building the MEMS microshutter array that controls how light enters James Webb Space Telescope

Webb’s Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), a breakthrough instrument developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, is designed to observe up to 100 space objects simultaneously. MSAL alum, Wen-Hsien Chuang, played important roles in inventing and building the micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) microshutter array that controls how light enters NIRSpec. (02 - Jan/ 2022)
