RESUME \undertext{PETER J. MACNEICE} FIELDS OF SPECIALISATION Solar Physics Theory of Coronal loop energetics X-ray and EUV observations of Solar Corona Theory of Transport Processes in ionized plasmas Numerical Simulation of Plasmas ACADEMIC BACKGROUND University of Cambridge 1984 Solar Physics PHD Cambridge, England University of Dublin 1980 Theoretical BA Dublin, Ireland Physics (Gold Medal Winner) SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Dr. MacNeice has recently concentrated on numerical modelling of solar and space plasmas using both fluid and particle codes, with special emphasis on application to massively parallel architectures, in support of the NASA Earth and Space Sciences High Performance Computing and Communications project. For the last 3 years he has lectured on Particle-Mesh techniques at the NASA Summer School for High Performance Computational Physics. He has over six years of professional experience in theoretical and observational research on Solar coronal activity. He has developed and applied numerical codes which model the energetics of coronal loop plasmas. He has also studied the effects of non-maxwellian velocity distributions on energy transport within plasmas. His experience of observational solar physics includes a two year period during which he acted as daily scientific planner of observations with the X-ray Polychromator aboard the Solar Maximum Mission satellite. ORGANISATION POSITION DATE SUPERVISOR Hughes STX Senior Scientist February 1989 -- Dr. T. Opsahl Lanham, MD Present Currently working on theoretical numerical modelling of solar and space plasmas using both fluid and particle codes with emphasis on developing particle-mesh algorithms suitable for massively parallel architectures. National Research Resident Research February 1987 -- Dr. D.S. Spicer Council, Associate at February 1989 Washington, DC NASA/GSFC Held a resident research associateship award from the National Research Council, at NASA--Goddard Space Flight Center. These awards are made following national competitions among selected scientists and engineers at the doctoral and post doctoral levels to provide opportunities for independent research on topics of interest to the host laboratory. Associated with the Solar Physics Branch, he worked on the numerical simulation of solar coronal plasmas using both fluid and particle techniques. He also worked on the theory of transport processes in non-maxwellian plasmas, particularly the extension of heat flux calculations outside the limited high density collisional regime in the classical theory. Rutherford Appleton Research Associate November 1983 -- Dr. R.W.P. McWhirter Laboratory, UK SERC, January 1987 Oxfordshire, England As a research associate in the Space and Astrophysics division he was largely free to conduct independent research work in the field of solar physics. This included numerical modelling of the energetics of flaring soft X-ray plasmas. Also worked on the analysis of multiwavelength observations of solar flares using both ground and satellite based instruments. For two years he spent approximately one third of his time as scientific planner for the X-ray Polychromator on the Solar Maximum Satellite, with responsibility for developing and managing the implementation of instrument observing sequences. He served for two years as the deputy convener of the UK Solar Physics Study Panel, reporting to the Planetary Sciences Committee of the Royal Society and producing a regular solar physics newsletter distributed throughout the UK.
