Michael is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. He received his B.S. in Physics in 2017 from the University of South Florida, his M.S. in Space Science from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2019, and his Ph. D. from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2023. His research focuses on the fundamental connection between magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence and particle distributions in the solar wind, in particular, the energy exchange process at ion and sub-ion scales. He is actively working with multiple spacecrafts including MMS, MESSENGER, WIND, and PSP to name a few. Michael hopes to promote student involvement in the Heliophysics community and cross-discipline research. Aside from his work, Michael enjoys adventuring with his wife and is a passionate sports fan.
