Unidentified science officer

A science officer with the title of doctor was a human member of the Galactic Empire's Tarkin Initiative, a secret research think tank for the Imperial Military. Involved with Project Celestial Power, in 4 BBY, the Science officer was one of a handful of Imperials personally requested by Director of Advanced Weapons Research Orson Callan Krennic to join the Ghorman project, an initiative by Krennic to extract vital kalkite from the surface of the planet Ghorman. Such a project would require gouge mining, a mining process that would likely destabilize the planet's core, and as such, the population needed to be handled in methods created by the project.
