Brief Bio


Maria M. Kuznetsova (aka Masha Kuznetsova) is an astrophysicist in the Space Weather Laboratory at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the director of the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). Her main scientific interests are in the area of space plasma physics and space environment modeling. For over 30 years she is actively involved in a study of critical magnetosphere phenomena including magnetic reconnection, mechanisms of collisionless dissipation, current-driven instabilities, particle acceleration, structure and stability of magnetospheric thin current sheets, theory and modeling of FTEs. Her research interests also include global MHD modeling of magnetosphere dynamics and implementation of kinetic effects in MHD models. Dr. Kuznetsova was heavily involved in CCMC activities since it establishement in 1998 andsignificantly contributed to establishing CCMC as one of the world leading space weather modeling and service centers. At CCMC Dr. Kuznetsova leads science-based validation efforts for a wide variety of space weather models, tools and space weather forecasting techniques. Dr. Kuznetsova earned her PhD in theoretical and mathematical physics from the Space Research Institute (IKI) in Moscow, Russia in 1987 and an M.S. in Physics, Physics of Plasma from Moscow State University in 1981.
She has worked at the theoretical physics department of Space Research Institute from 1981-1993. In 1993 she joined NASA/GSFC as a National Research Council Research Associate. After the NRC fellowship, Dr. Kuznetsova became a Raytheon principal scientist. She reunited with GSFC as civil service astrophysicist in 2004. Dr. Kuznetsova leads the CCMC support of Modeling Challenges and Focus Groups at the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) and Coupling, Energetics, and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR). She launched an International Forum on Space Weather Capabilities Assessment and initiated Space Weather REDI (Research, Education, Development Initiative) program aiming to facilitate hands-on space weather education. Masha Kuznetsova is an organizer of many International Space Weather Schools and is a member of Science Organizing Committees at many domestic and international conferences including International Living With a Star (ILWS) - COSPAR Science for Space Weather Workshop and US/UN Workshop on International Space Weather Initiative. She currently serves as CCMC liaison at NASA LWS and NSF GEM Steering Committees and is a member of NASA’s Space Environment Capabilities Leadership (CLT) Team.
Dr. Kuznetsova is a recipient of 2013 NASA Robert H Goddard Exceptional Achievement Award. In 2017 she was awarded NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal.
