Dr. Z: "Yet that day in front of the deepest ever image of the universe, I thought back to that little kid on the roof of the farm looking at the dark sky and dreaming, and now his team was making history beyond any expectations, beyond any hope. I had met people who had encouraged and mentored me, including here at the University of Michigan, and I had learned that my simple upbringing was a huge strength, and not my weakness."
Dr. Z is the former NASA Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, and before that he spent 20 years at the University of Michigan, arriving as a research fellow, and leaving having served as a professor of both space science and aerospace engineering, an associate dean, and the founding director of U-M's Center for Entrepreneurship.
