We at Astronomy in Color are pleased to congratulate Dr. Christopher S. Moore for successfully defending his PhD dissertation titled
"Atomic Layer Deposition Reflective Coatings for future Astronomical
Space Telescopes and the Solar Corona viewed through the MinXSS (Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer)
CubeSats"
on November 9th, 2017, conducted under the supervision of Prof. Kevin France and Prof. Tom Woods at the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Dr. Moore was also awarded the Rodger Doxsey Dissertation Travel Prize, which will allow him to present his work at the 2018 American Astronomical Society Meeting.
