As Director of Morrison Planetarium, Ryan oversees the largest all-digital full dome planetarium in the world that uses real data and revolutionary technologies to transform the way Earth-bound audiences experience the universe.

After earning an undergraduate degree in Astronomy from Cornell University and studying for a Masters in space physics and astronomy from Rice University, Wyatt went on to work for a number of planetariums across the country before settling into a six-year stint as Science Visualizer for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. He joined the Academy in April 2007—just in time to help shape what the new Morrison Planetarium would become.
