Physicist, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology
Marina Brozovic is a radar scientist and an orbital dynamicist from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California. Dr. Brozovic observed hundreds of near-Earth asteroids with the Goldstone and Arecibo planetary radar, and she was involved in the discovery of a dozen binary and three triple asteroid systems, fourteen moons of Jupiter, and several Trans-Neptunian Objects. A main-belt asteroid 7295 Brozovic is named after her. Her research also involves orbital dynamics of the moons of the outer planets, and she worked on NASA's New Horizons mission to the dwarf planet Pluto as a part of the Hazards Team. She received her undergraduate degree in physics at the University of Zagreb in Croatia and her Ph.D. in physics from Duke University. She spent several years at Caltech as a postdoc before joining JPL in 2007.
Marina Brozovic was born and raised in the city of Split, Croatia, on the coast of the Adriatic Sea.
