Assistant Professor, Department of Physics & Astronomy
Georgia State University, Atlanta

I study the Sun and its effects on the space environment around Earth. My group, SunSET, combines observations, physics-based simulations, and machine learning to understand and predict solar flares, solar energetic particles, coronal mass ejections, and the radiation environment from the solar atmosphere and interplanetary space down to aviation altitudes.

I received my Ph.D. from the New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2019 (B.S. and M.S. from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology), worked as a Research Scientist at BAERI / NASA Ames Research Center, and joined Georgia State University in 2021. I lead and collaborate on NASA and NSF projects, including a NASA Living With a Star project on predicting the properties of Earth-approaching CMEs and the COFFIES DRIVE Science Center.
