Research Interests
Space Particle Instruments Team Lead within NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Solar and Terrestrial Physics (STP) group. The NCEI STP group supports design, assembly and calibration of space weather instruments flown on NOAA’s satellites. The STP group also works on scientific algorithm development and operational research for the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Current research interests include magnetospheric physics, transport and energization in the Earth’s radiation belts, and geomagnetic cutoffs of solar energetic particles in the near-Earth space environment.
