Specializations and Research Interests
- Created a Global Ionosphere Thermosphere Model (GITM)
- Created a model of the ionospheric electrodynamics
- Magnetosphere - Solar wind coupling
- Magnetosphere - Ionosphere coupling
Honors, Awards and Accomplishments
- First to undertake global ionospheric convection statistical study using assimilative mapping of ionospheric electrodynamics (AMIE) technique, thereby verifying and challenging many aspects the nonsteady-state ionospheric convection
- Developed automated data processing codes allowing faster and more consistent data ingestion into the AMIE technique allowing for the use of AMIE in real-time, providing the community with nowcasts and forecasts of the ionospheric potential pattern
- Quantified errors associated with different propagation methods used for determining how interplanetary magnetic field travels from measuring satellite to magnetosphere.
- First to couple the TIME-GCM with a global MHD model with coupling of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's thermosphere, ionosphere, mesosphere, electrodynamics general circulation model to the University of Michigan's BATS-R-US global magnetospheric MHD code
- Principal investigator/Co-Investigator, several research grants, NSF, NASA, NOAA and Department of Defense
- Author or co-author, 20+ publications in refereed journals
- Speaker, 20+ scientific lectures/seminars
- Recipient, Newkirk fellowship, NCAR/HAO
Professional Service
- NASA Data and Modeling Working Group
- NOAA DAAR Working Group
- Member, American Geophysical Union
