Biography:
Dr. Scott A Boardsen is currently a research associate at GEST. He received his B.S. in Physics in 1981, his M. S. in Physics in 1984, and his Ph.D. in Physics in 1988, all from the University of Iowa. His master thesis research was in laboratory plasma physics were he studied methods for improving the efficiency of ion propulsion engines. His Ph. D. research was in space plasma physics were he studied electrostatic ion cyclotron waves generated along the auroral field lines. Throughout his career he has worked on various topics in magnetospheric physics including studies of equatorial fast magnetosonic waves and their interaction with unstable ion distributions, auroral kilometric radiation, kilometric continuum radiation, plasmaspheric hiss and its relation to lightning, high latitude magnetic reconnection, and magnetopause modeling.
