Dr. Simon Wing |
After completing his undergraduate study at the University of Arizona and PhD in 1992 at the Johns Hopkins University, he attended the Johns Hopkins University, with which he has been associated ever since. He is presently a Principal Professional Staff Physicist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at University of Maryland. He is an expert on DMSP particle and magnetic field observations. He pioneered a technique for inferring plasma sheet ion temperature, density, and pressure from ionospheric observations. His Kp forecast models have been or in the process of being adapted by national space weather centers. In addition to research, he teaches a graduate level computer course at University of Maryland. He has published over 50 papers and has given over 200 presentations at national/international scientific meetings, including more than 20 invited talks. He has been recipient of numerous NASA and NSF grants. |
