Dr. Pulkkinen's research interests comprise Sun–Earth connection physics in a wide sense: energy transfer processes from the solar wind to the magnetosphere–ionosphere system; effects of large solar disturbances in the magnetosphere and ionosphere; auroral processes and their relationship to magnetotail dynamics; storm and substorm effects in the magnetotail, in the inner magnetosphere, and in the ionosphere; long-term solar variability effects in the geoefficiency of the solar wind driving; and space weather effects of solar wind–driven magnetospheric dynamics.

Current areas of investigation include the evolution of the radiation belts; how the ionized particle outflow is known as the solar wind and the magnetic field of the Sun interact with the magnetic field of Earth, producing electrical currents in the ionosphere; and the effects of solar cosmic rays on radio communications near Earth's poles.

After beginning her government career as a presidential management intern under Ronald Reagan, Dr. Hartman worked on Capitol Hill for House Science and Technology Committee Chairman Don Fuqua, as a senior engineer building spacecraft at NASA Goddard, and as a senior policy analyst at the White House. She has served as planetary division director, deputy associate administrator, and acting associate administrator at NASA's Science Mission Directorate, as deputy assistant administrator at NOAA, and as deputy center director and director of science and exploration at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
