Graham Dean began working at LASP as an undergraduate and graduate mechanical engineering student for the EMM Program. Upon graduating, he started work as a full-time mechanical engineer at LASP on the CTIM-FD, HFSS, and BABAR-ERI projects. The highlights of his mechanical engineering experience include the design, characterization, testing, and integration of the burnwire mechanisms used for retaining the CTIM solar arrays, and conducting the optomechanical design, analysis, and alignment process development and implementation for the BABAR-ERI detector packaging. Graham moved to the Program Management department in 2023 where he now serves as the Deputy Project Manager for TSIS-2, HFSS, and the OMCOR proposal.
