Biography:

Dr. Suzanne Imber received a Ph.D. in Space Plasma Physics in 2008 from the University of Leicester, in the UK, and an MSci from Imperial College, London in 2005. Her Ph.D. thesis work investigates the process of magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause during intervals of northward IMF, in particular determining the factors influencing the lobe reconnection rate, and presenting first observations of dual lobe reconnection using a combination of SuperDARN radar and spacecraft data. Immediately following her Ph.D. she joined the Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Centre and is based at NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland. Her main focus of research is reconnection in the near-Earth tail, with a particular focus on multiple x-line reconnection and flux rope formation and evolution. She also serves on the Deputy Director's Council for Science at GSFC.
