Joe Conti is a Senior Engineering Leader and physics enthusiast based in Lexington, Massachusetts. He first witnessed eclipse shadow bands during the April 2024 North American total solar eclipse. Fascinated by this still poorly understood phenomenon, he developed an image-processing framework to analyze shadow band recordings and organized this independent citizen science project to collect observations from multiple locations during the 2026 eclipse.
