The dynamics of the high-energy particle environment surrounding the Earth gives rise to the radiation belts that are dangerous for satellites upon which our increasingly technological society depends. These particles can also effect radio wave propagation in ways that challenge the reliability of GPS and interfere radio communications (for example, trans-polar aircraft). My goal is to further develop observational techniques that broaden the scope of available information about the near-Earth space environment. I will use these techniques to study a range of fundamental space science problems and advance applications for space weather monitoring and prediction.

地球周围高能粒子环境的动态产生了辐射带，这些辐射带对我们日益技术化的社会所依赖的卫星来说是危险的。这些粒子还可以影响无线电波传播，挑战GPS的可靠性并干扰无线电通信（例如，跨极飞机）。我的目标是进一步发展观测技术，扩大有关近地空间环境的现有信息的范围。我将使用这些技术来研究一系列基础空间科学问题，并推进空间天气监测和预测的应用。
