I am a Senior Research Scientist in the BU Center for Space Physics. I work with data from the Galileo mission to Jupiter (1996-2003) and NASA’s Juno mission, which has been in a polar orbit around Jupiter since 2016, to study Jupiter’s magnetosphere and aurora. I am also a member of the science team for the MAVEN mission to Mars, which has been in orbit around Mars since September 2014.
In 2016 and 2017 I co-led an international team at the International Space Science Institute to study the solar wind influence on the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn. From 2016 to 2018 I was an NSF postdoctoral fellow at Boston University studying the effects of the solar wind on Jupiter’s magnetosphere and aurora.
Research Interests: planetary magnetic fields, ionospheres, and aurora.
