Biography
Trevor Graff is the Chief Scientist for Jacobs in the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Division at NASA's Johnson Space Center. He is also the Project Manager of the Exploration Science Group within the Jacobs Science Department and manages the Spectroscopy and Magnetics Laboratory which conducts detailed analysis of astromaterials and planetary analogue materials. He was the Payload Uplink Lead for the Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometers aboard NASA’s Mars Exploration Rovers, and was Project Manager for flight hardware on the Mars 2020 Rover. Trevor is actively involved in the science and mission teams for numerous analog field studies including Desert-RATS, NEEMO and more. Additionally, Trevor has served over 16 years in the United States Army.
