About the Instructor
Alan Rios got his start in astronomy as a researcher in UCLA’s Planetary Physics Department, where he focused on spacetime theory. Since then, he has worked as the head of citizen-science and astronomical data collection at multiple research facilities across the Bay Area. His current astrophotography research projects are in collaboration with Evergreen Valley College, where he supervises citizen-based data acquisition. Alan says that he fell in love with space when he first viewed Saturn’s rings through a self-made telescope.
