About Joey Schmitt
I’m an Operations Research Analyst and former astronomer based in Washington, DC. I currently work at the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration, where I conduct independent analysis to evaluate major programs and projects. Earlier in my career, I worked at Headquarters Air Force as a Presidential Management Fellow and completed a detail to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, where I worked with the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics. I hold a PhD in Astronomy from Yale University, with a dissertation on discovering hidden planets, and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Iowa.
I’m also running to serve as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner for ANC 1A03 in Columbia Heights!
