... experiment and has worked with colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in analyzing plasma data obtained in the magnetospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. She is an interdisciplinary scientist on the Galileo project, specializing in a study of the Io plasma torus in the magnetosphere of Jupiter using both in situ plasma measurements and spectroscopic remote sensing observations.

... His research interests lie in the area of experimental space plasma physics, especially particle acceleration processes in the auroral zone, and he has been a principal or co-investigator on several sounding rocket and satellite projects. He is currently serving on the NRC ad hoc committee to organize and conduct a workshop on distributed arrays of small instruments for research and monitoring
