Position

James A. Van Allen/Roy J. Carver Professor of Physics, University of Iowa, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Iowa City, USA.

Research interests

Professor Gurnett’s scientific work is devoted to the study of space plasma, especially the many kinds of waves, including Alfvén waves, that exist in space plasmas. He has identified important problems, conceived instrumentation to make the relevant measurements and engineered and developed the instruments needed. He has formed and led teams to build and fly the instruments on spacecraft and developed unique data analysis and presentation techniques. He has used these analysis techniques, along with his deep understanding of plasma theory, to understand the nature of the fluctuations observed in the data. He has participated in thirty spacecraft projects, most notably the Voyager 1 and 2 flights to the outer planets, the Galileo mission to Jupiter, and the Cassini mission to Saturn.

Professor Gurnett’s work has provided an understanding of how waves are generated by the very energetic charged particle distributions found in the radiation belts of the magnetized planets, and how these waves influence the energy and velocity distribution of the charged particles via various processes generally known as wave-particle interactions. Many of these same processes are also relevant to laboratory and cosmical plasmas. Professor Gurnett is the author or co-author of over 450 scientific publications, primarily in the area of magnetospheric radio and plasma wave research.

Prizes and awards
