Edward (Eddie) Berman
Eddie is an Astrophysicist working for McCleary's Group at
Northeastern University and is a part of COSMOS-Web: The JWST Cosmic
Origins Survey. He brings a wealth of experience from telescope
calibration, simulations, and imaging. His work on PSF modeling
involved the benchmarking of different programming languages, which
is what led to his interest in programming language research.
