Carlos Martinis Lic. Fisica, Universidad Nacional de Tucuman, Argentina; MA, Ph.D. Boston University RESEARCH ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR His research interests include studying the electrodynamics of the ionosphere from low to sub-auroral latitudes. He is CO-I in the NASA GOLD mission and PI on a NASA project that combines 630.0 nm airglow structures and in-situ ICON plasma data. Prof. Martinis is PI on NSF projects that support the BU network of all-sky imagers and a network of low latitude Fabry-Perot Interferometers. E-mail: martinis@bu.edu Phone: 617.353.5258 |
