Dr. Reynolds is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Howard University in Washington, DC, a position he has held since 1998. He received his Ph.D. in plasma physics from UCLA in 1995, where he did theoretical research on momentum and energy transport by waves in nonuniform plasmas, as well as computer simulations of plasmas. He then spent three years as a NRC Research Associate at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC. There he studied the Earth's plasmasphere and developed a kinetic model that would be useful in interpreting remote sensing observations of helium ions. He also investigated plasma instabilities associated with nonuniform flow profiles in the auroral ionosphere. His current research interests include those topics as well as the interpretation of line shape measurements as a plasma diagnostic, as well as the analysis of data from the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Photometer (EUVIP) instrument on the Advanced Research & Global Observation Satellite (ARGOS).
