Michael MendilloMichael Mendillo thinks he heads our research group in the Center for Space Physics. He is a faculty member in the Department of Astronomy and in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. When not in Fenway Park, his research interests include ionospheric and space plasma physics, planetary atmospheres, historical astronomy, space based "active" experiments, and ground based optical and radio diagnostics.E-mail: mendillo@bu.edu // (webpage) Phone: 617.353.2629 | |
Jeff Baumgardner, MA, Boston University SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATE His research interests include designing and building low-light-level imaging instruments, and their scientific application to the aeronomy of Earth and solar system bodies. E-mail: jeffreyb@bu.edu Phone: 617.353.5258 | |
Steve Smith, Ph.D., University of Canterbury.
SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATE His research involves the imaging and study of gravity-wave activity in the night-time mesosphere, as well as the imaging and study of the lunar sodium tail. E-mail: smsm@bu.edu // (webpage) | |
Paul Withers, Ph.D., University of Arizona.
SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATE His research interests include the behaviour of the martian upper atmosphere and ionosphere, and analysis of accelerometer data. He has participated in aerobraking operations for Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey. E-mail: withers@bu.edu / (webpage) | |
Carlos Martinis, Lic. Fisica, Universidad Nacional de
Tucuman, Argentina; Ph.D. Boston University RESEARCH ASSOCIATE His research interests include studying the electrodynamics of the equatorial and low latitude ionospheres. He uses all-sky imagers, FPI's and various theoretical and empirical models. E-mail: martinis@bu.edu Phone: 617.353.5258 | |
Luke Moore Ph.D, Boston University RESEARCH ASSOCIATE His research involves studying planetary atmospheres using numerical models. In particular, he focuses on understanding Saturn's ionosphere and plasmasphere using recent data from the Cassini spacecraft. E-mail: moore@bu.edu | |
