Primary Role:Ph.D. Student

Curt also played a key role in the MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Emergency Backup System (MEBS), and was the lead system architect of the MODIS Data Production System (MODAPS) that has been processing data from the EOS Terra and Aqua spacecraft since their launches in 1999 and 2002.

He holds BS degrees in Computer Engineering and Computer Science from Virginia Tech, and MS degrees in Computer Science and System Engineering from Johns Hopkins University and is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

In May 2009, TIlmes received GSFC's Ninth Annual Excellence in Information Science and Technology Award because of his achievements in the processing, archival, and distribution of satellite ocean biology and sea surface temperature products to the Earth science community over the past quarter century.
