Research

I am a part of the Space Weather Group in the Astrophysical, Planetary, and Space Sciences Program. My research interests include magnetospheric physics and geomagnetism, solar wind/magnetosphere/ionosphere coupling, inverse methods for magnetospheric modeling, nonlinear dynamics, decision theory applied to rare event forecasting, scientific visualization, and collaborative software development.
