Brief Bio



Dr. Vadim M. Uritsky received his Ph.D. in Space Physics and Geophysics from St. Petersburg State University (SPSU), Russia in 1998, and a Doktor Nauk (Grand Ph.D.) degree from the same university in 2005. He held research and faculty positions at SPSU (2001-2005), University of Calgary (2006-2011), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (1999-2001, 2011 - present) and the Catholic University of America (CUA) (2011 - present).


Dr. Uritsky is a recipient of several professional awards, including a NRC Resident Research Associateship Award from the U.S. National Academies, the Leonhard Euler research award from the German Academic Exchange Service, and a NASA/GSFC Peer Award. Dr. Uritsky is an expert reviewer for major scientific journals and funding agencies. His research has been funded by the European Union's INTAS program, Canadian Space Agency and Foundation for Innovation, the U.S. National Research Council, NASA and NSF.


Dr. Uritsky is a full professor in the CUA's Physics Department. He is also the Director of the Applied Space Weather Research degree program and the Head of the Space Weather Center at the same university, and is an elected member of the CUA Academic Senate.
