Research summary

Jennifer Herman's publicly listed work concerns power systems engineering for Mars surface missions, including radioisotope thermoelectric generators, solar array performance, and operational strategies for rovers and landers like Curiosity, the Mars Exploration Rovers, and InSight. There is also a smaller thread of work on engineering education, looking at how engineers are trained and evaluated as teachers. This profile appears to reflect applied spacecraft engineering and mission operations experience rather than a traditional academic research lab.

Publication output has been low and intermittent over the last decade, with roughly one output per year in recent years and several gap years, suggesting occasional rather than continuous public output.
