Lindsay Goodwin

My name is Lindsay Goodwin, and I am an Assistant Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology working in the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research. Although I like to study a wide variety of topics within space physics, I am currently focusing most of my energy on understanding plasmas in the geospace environment and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. I am also quite familiar with ionospheric plasma physics, non-Maxwellian ion velocity distributions, ion temperature anisotropies, and radio spectra produced by incoherent scatter radars.

I am interested in teaching a wide variety of basic physics topics, such as electromagnetism, optics, and classical mechanics. However, I also am interested in developing and teaching courses that reach higher levels or learning, in particular space physics and remote sensing.

Ionospheric properties impact long distance radio communication, navigation systems, and power infrastructure. Therefore, it is important to understand the ionosphere to mitigate "space weather". As a Space Physicist, my research addresses the following two questions: 1) "How does coupling between the sun, solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere drive ionospheric properties, and the global redistribution of plasma density structures?”, and 2) "How does space plasma change in response to changing ionospheric conditions?"
