Biography:

Dr. Timothy J. Stubbs is an Assistant Research Scientist at GEST whose interests cover heliophysics and planetary science. He received both his PhD in Space Physics (2002) and MSci in Physics (1998) from Imperial College, London. His PhD work concerned ion injection and transport in the high-latitude magnetosphere. In 2002 he began his National Research Council Resident Research Associateship at NASA/GSFC, during which he studied magnetospheric and auroral processes using spacecraft observations, and developed the dynamic fountain model for lunar dust. He has been a member of the UMBC/GEST research faculty since 2005 and continues to work at NASA/GSFC on modeling the dynamic near-lunar space environment. Dr Stubbs is currently serving on the Lunar Airborne Dust Toxicity Advisory Group (LADTAG), and is the Task Manager for the Deputy Director's Council on Science (DDCS) at NASA/GSFC. He often advises on various aspects of the lunar environment and the implications for science and exploration. Dr Stubbs is a Participating Scientist on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Science Team, and is affiliated with the CRaTER instrument. He is also a member of the NASA Lunar Science Institute's DREAM team.
