Check out this NASA video produced by Goddard Space Flight Center about Danielle's work as an intern and researcher.

Welcome!
Dr. Danielle Wood works as a systems engineer and policy researcher in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Dr. Wood is a graduate of the Engineering Systems Division (ESD) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where she studied aerospace engineering, technology policy and international development. Dr. Wood's research applies all of these areas to study the technical and programmatic challenges of government space programs throughout the world.  Prior to completing her studies, Dr. Wood pursued diverse experiences with NASA as an intern, guest researcher, graduate fellow, contractor and Student Ambassador. As an intern with Goddard Space Flight Center and  NASA Headquarters, Dr. Wood considered new ways that NASA technology spin-offs can be deployed for the benefit of developing countries. In addition to her experience with NASA, Dr. Wood interned with the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs, which helps to coordinate international dialogue and awareness of space policy issues.
