主讲: 张慧教授

Dr. Hui Zhang received her B.A. from Peking University, China in 2002,

and her Ph.D in Astronomy from Boston University in 2008. She spent

two years as a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow at the NASA Goddard Space

Flight Center. She joined the physics department at University of

Alaska Fairbanks as an assistant professor in August, 2010. Her

research interests include the structure and dynamics of the Earth's

dayside magnetosphere, including the magnetosheath, magnetopause,

boundary layer, and cusp. Other research includes energetic particle

acceleration by magnetic reconnection and diffusion physics, as well

as the interaction of interplanetary shocks with the earth's bow

shock, magnetosphere, and the global effects resulting from the

interaction, such as particle accelerations in the inner magnetosphere

and magnetic pulsations on the ground. She is also interested in

foreshock phenomena such as Hot Flow Anomalies and foreshock cavities,

as well as MHD simulations.

The awards she has received include several research grants from NSF

and NASA, the NASA postdoctoral fellowship (2008), and two AGU

Outstanding Student Paper Awards (2006 and 2007). She has served as

the guest editor of the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar -Terrestrial

Physics special issue on Magnetospheric Response to Solar Wind

Discontinuities (2009-2010). She has co-convened several conferences.

She has served as a reviewer for various journals and NSF. She has

also served as a judge for AGU Outstanding Student Paper Award (2009,

2010).
