From page 62...
... Dr. Bastian's research interests include solar and stellar radiophysics; planetary/exoplanetary radio emission; radio propagation phenomena as probes of the solar wind; radio interferometry; and the physics of flares and coronal mass ejections.
From page 63...
... He has served on many National Academies activities, including the Committee on Assessment of NASA Laboratory Capabilities, the Report Review Committee, and the Committee on Space-Based Additive Manufacturing of Space Hardware. GEORGE GLOECKLER is a distinguished university professor, emeritus, of the University of Maryland and research professor in the Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering Department at the University of Michigan.
From page 64...
... He is currently the principal investigator (PI) , SWEAP Investigation, Solar Probe Plus; instrument lead, Faraday Cup, Deep Space Climate Observatory; co-investigator, FIELDS, Solar Probe Plus; instrument lead, Solar Wind Experiment Faraday Cup, Wind spacecraft; co-investigator, Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation, LRO; and PI of NASA and NSF grants to conduct investigations into the fundamental physics of solar corona and solar wind, including heating, instabilities, composition, shocks, magnetic reconnection, and radio emission.
From page 65...
... Dr. Schwadron's previous experience includes positions as an associate professor of astronomy at Boston University; senior research scientist, principal scientist, and staff scientist at the Southwest Research Institute; assistant research scientist at the University of Michigan; senior research scientist at the International Space Science Institute in Bern, Switzerland; and postdoctoral scholar at the University of Michigan's Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Science Department.
From page 66...
... Sheffer served as a Christine Mirzayan Science and Technology Policy Graduate Fellow for the National Academies and then joined the SSB. Since coming to the National Academies, she has been the staff officer and study director on a variety of activities such as the Committee on Solar and Space Physics, Achieving Science With CubeSats: Thinking Inside the Box, Sharing the Adventure with the Student: Exploring the Intersections of NASA Space Science and Education -- A Workshop Summary, Landsat and Beyond -- ­ ustaining S and Enhancing the Nation's Land Imaging Program, and The Effects of Solar Variability on Earth's Climate: A Workshop Report.
From page 67...
... Moloney has overseen the production of more than 60 reports; including five decadal surveys -- in astronomy and astrophysics, Earth science and applications from space, planetary science, microgravity sciences, and solar and space physics -- prioritizations of NASA space technology roadmaps, a major report on the rational for and future direction of the U.S. human spaceflight program, as well as reports on issues such as NASA's Strategic Direction, lessons learned from the decadal survey processes, the science promise of CubeSats, the challenge of orbital debris, the future of NASA's astronaut corps, NASA's aeronautical flight research program, and national research agendas for autonomy and low-carbon propulsion in civil aviation.
