Duties at STScI
As a member of the Science Software Branch
(a.k.a. the STSDAS
group) I am responsible for writing and maintaining programs used to reduce,
calibrate and analyze data from HST instruments. Since mid-2000 I have been
determining the requirements and developing a design for the
WFC3 pipeline calibration programs.
During the previous five years I developed and maintained the
NICMOS pipeline
calibration programs, calnica and calnicb. And before
that, I spent a couple of years maintaining and enhancing the
FOS
calibration program, calfos. I've also been involved in user-support
and enhancements for the STSDAS Synthetic Photometry software package,
synphot.

technology that allows me to experience them at home. I've also had an
avid interest in theatrical lighting since my days as a lighting technician
at the Calvin College Fine Arts Center. I still do lighting work at the
semi-annual
Glenn Bulthuis
