George has over 30 years of experience in the design, testing, calibration, operation, and analysis of scientific data from radio and plasma wave instruments and sensors flown on spacecraft and sounding rockets, including the TRACERS, Galileo, Juno, Cassini, Van Allen Probes, VIPER, Wind and Polar missions.

Responsible for search coil magnetometer development, performance and calibration for the Polar, Wind, Juno, Van Allen Probes, VIPER and TRACERS missions. Research is mainly on the radio and plasma waves found in the magnetospheres of the outer planets and Earth.

Research specialty

• Space physics
• Spaced based search coil magnetometers
• Plasma and radio wave instruments

Research interests

Research interest is primarily in measuring and understanding the radio and plasma waves found in the magnetospheres of the outer planets and Earth.  Areas of interest include wave-normal and Poynting vector analysis of whistler mode waves and their relationship to energetic particle. Also Interested in the design, testing, calibration,and  operation of radio and plasma wave instruments and sensors flown on spacecraft and sounding rockets, with special interest in search coil magnetometers.
