Biography
Over 20 years experience in space physics research and tertiary teaching. Research interests has spanned the areas of ultra-low frequency (ULF) plasma wave signatures, associated mathematical modeling of ULF wave effects in the ionosphere and magnetosphere, and the dynamics of the auroral currents and electromagnetic energy budget derived from the Iridium constellation magnetometer and SuperDARN radar data. Designed and operated induction and fluxgate magnetometer systems and was data manager for the NewMag payload on FedSat, developing algorithms to provide error-free timing of those data. Have ~85 peer reviewed publications in space physics, awarded ~$4M in ARC-DP and LEIF funding, supervised ~20 MSc and PhD students, associate editor of Journal of Geophysical Research Space Physics.
