From College of Science (October 2):
GMU and NRL share a long history of scientific collaboration in space science research. This joint work spans a wide range of topics, including high-energy particle acceleration, solar atmospheric physics, coronal mass ejection, planetary atmospheres, X-ray pulsars, active galaxies, solar wind, and magnetospheric physics.
In order to stimulate further high-level interactions between faculty members, postdocs, space scientists, and graduate students located at NRL and GMU, we are hosting a Collaborative Research Poster Session on Wednesday, October 29, 2008, in Research Building 1 on the Fairfax campus. The goals of this poster session will be to:
- raise awareness about all areas of space science research at GMU and NRL
- showcase existing examples of collaborative research between the institutions
- stimulate and promote further collaborative research in a variety of new areas
As a follow-up to the Collaborative Research Poster Session, we are organizing a Joint Seminar Series on the Fairfax campus in the Spring 2009 semester. This seminar series will stimulate further interaction between NRL scientists, GMU faculty, graduate students, and postdocs. In the future, it is expected that some NRL scientists may be interested in advising GMU doctoral students and perhaps teaching advanced graduate courses.
