Research Projects

I became a civil servant at NASA-Goddard in 2018 and research here is mostly funded through the Internal Scientist Funding Model (ISFM) program, and the Heliophysics Innovation Fund (HIF) program. The former have a three-year duration, and the latter a one-year duration. Prior to 2018, my research funding came through NASA and NSF grants, which are listed below.
