Research
I study the plasmaspheres and inner
magnetospheres of the Earth and Saturn. My research
involves analysis of exciting data from spacecraft such
as TWINS ,
IMAGE ,
LANL geostationary
satellites ,
DMSP
, ACE
, and Cassini
. As part of this analysis, I often utilize simple
computational models of important physical processes
such as electrodynamic coupling and plasma convection.
Teaching
I have just joined the Department of
Physics and Astronomy at UTSA as an Adjoint Assistant
Professor. My previous teaching experience ranges from
graduate level physics (while a grad student at
Dartmouth) to tutoring classical Greek mythology (after
I got my B.S. at Brooklyn College). Currently, I am
working with my colleagues at the Southwest Research
Institute (in partnership with UTSA) to put together
UTSA's very first introductory course in space physics.
I look forward to working with, and learning from, the
students and faculty of the UTSA Physics and Astronomy
department.
