    Dr. Yaireska (Yari) Collado-Vega’s is originally from Ponce, Puerto Rico. She received her PhD in Space Physics from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC with honors in January 2013. She received both her BS and MS in theoretical physics from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, in 2004 and 2007, respectively, and a second MS from The Catholic University of America on May 2010. She is the director of NASA's Moon to Mars (M2M) Space Weather Analysis Office and the former lead of the experimental Space Weather Forecasting Team at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC). The M2M Office supports NASA’s Space Radiation Analysis Group (SRAG) with human space exploration activities by providing novel capabilities to characterize the space radiation environment. The M2M Office also provides real-time analysis of the space environment and their probable impacts for NASA missions. Collado-Vega's research focuses on the solar wind interaction with the Earth's magnetic environment, solar energetic particle events, and space weather real time analysis. She also works on the validation of solar and magnetospheric models and the current developments on machine learning capabilities to improve space weather analysis and forecasting. She also conducts education and public outreach for NASA and the Heliophysics Science Division including social media events and live tv/radio interviews to increase the awareness on Heliophysics Science and space weather. She has presented at many international and national scientific conferences. She has been part of the NASA family for 18 years.

    Positions/Employment

    7/2020 - Present

    Director of the Moon to Mars (M2M) Space Weather Analysis Office

    NASA , GSFC

    The Moon to Mars Space Weather Office (M2M) is established to support NASA’s Space Radiation Analysis Group (SRAG) with human space exploration activities by providing expert based analysis of the space radiation environment. M2M analyzes real-time space weather conditions with state-of-the-art models and tools to deliver space weather assessments to SRAG console operators. These assessments are used to evaluate the likelihood, intensity, and duration of space radiation events that could impact human exploration missions to the Moon, and subsequently, to Mars. M2M will also continue to support NASA robotic missions with space weather notifications and anomaly analysis support as a secondary function.

    Research Astrophysicist

    NASA GSFC, Heliophysics Science Division

    Part of the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) team, senior space weather forecaster and the lead for the Space Weather Forecasting team. She conducts space weather analysis for the support of NASA's robotic missions. She is also involved in the validation of space weather models specified on the Earth's magnetosphere and how magnetic storms develop from the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction. She also leads the prototyping effort of new space weather models and software tools. She also conducts education and public outreach for the CCMC and the Heliophysics Science Division including live tv/radio interviews and social media events. She is the space weather lead and CCMC representative on the NASA Space Science Education Consortium for NASA GSFC. Her research experience focuses on solar wind-magnetosphere interaction instabilities and transient events. It includes data analysis of multi-spacecraft observations from different missions including Cluster, THEMIS, Van Allen Probes and currently the MMS mission, and analysis of Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. Also interested in dayside-magnetopause magnetic reconnection, magnetopause standoff position changes and soft X-ray imaging of the magnetosphere. She has been a Co-Investigator in several funded Science Innovation Fund proposals on a data mining tool development for vortices on the Earth's magnetopause and in correlation analysis of Auroras with the Day and Night band signal and space weather models.
