Matthew R. Perry is a Research Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute. His research involves the interpretation of subsurface radar sounding data specifically as it pertains to the presence of near-surface water ice deposits. He is also involved in numerous NASA-funded research projects aimed at developing high-resolution 3D radargrams from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Shallow Radar (SHARAD) and Mars Express Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) observations. He is a Co-Investigator on MRO SHARAD and serves as the System Manager for the Colorado SHARAD Processing System, which is primarily responsible for processing and delivering SHARAD data to the SHARAD Science Team. CO-SHARPS also provides parameterized processing for end-users around the world. He also serves as the System Manager for the MARSTHERM web-application.
