Bertalan Zieger is a senior research scientist at the Center for Space Physics at Boston University. His primary research interests include space weather and space climate, and the coupled interaction of the solar wind with planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres[1].
Education[edit]
In 1989, Zieger received his M.Sc. degree in Geophysics and English-Hungarian Technical Translation at the Eötvös Loránd University of Budapest, Hungary. In 1997, Zieger received his Ph.D. degree in Physics with eximia cum laude grade at the Space Physics Department of the University of Oulu, Finland. In 1999 he became a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Danish Space Research Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2002 he became a Postdoctoral Fellow at the International University Bremen in Bremen, Germany[2].
Career[edit]
From 1989 to 2001 Zieger was employed at the Geodetic and Geophysical Research Institute at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Sopron, Hungary[2].
In 2007 Zieger became an Assistant Research Scientist at the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Space Sciences at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan[2].
From 2009 to 2011 Zieger was a Research Scientist at the Space Research Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Graz, Austria[2].
From 2012 to 2018 Zieger was a Research Scientist at the Center for Space Physics, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts. From 2019 to the present, he is a Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Space Physics[2].
Scientific Contributions[edit]
Zieger has a number of completed research projects[2]:
- Co-investigator in a NASA heliospheric grand challenge project: Understanding the nature of the heliosheath and the heliopause.
- Co-investigator in a NASA project Structure of the heliosheath and heliopause: MHD-kinetic simulations with pickup ions and time-dependent solar wind.
- Principal Investigator or Co-investigator in 10 research projects on geomagnetic pulsations (ULF waves), Shumann resonances (VLF waves), and space climate funded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, the Hungarian Space Research Agency, and the Hungarian National Scientific Research Foundation.
His current research includes:
- Principal Investigator in a NASA Heliophysics Supporting Research project on Dispersive magnetosonic waves and turbulence in the heliosheath
- Co-investigator in the NASA DRIVE Center project Our heliospheric shield
