Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees Toulouse, France
Dr. Maurice is an astronomer on the planetology team of the Laboratory of Astrophysics in Toulouse. As a member of the Lunar Prospector Spectrometer Team, he has carried out much of the initial analysis for the LP neutron spectrometer. He received his B.Sc. in aeronautics and space engineering from "Sup-Aero," Toulouse, in 1990, followed by his M.S. in astrophysics from Toulouse University, the same year, and his Ph.D. in astrophysics from Toulouse University in 1994. He has been then a post-doc for 2 years at the European Space Agency in the Netherlands, and then for 16 months at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. In 1998, Dr. Maurice was awarded a permanent position at the Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees in Toulouse, France. Since his graduation, Dr. Maurice has contributed to a variety of space physics and planetary science projects. These include modelling the magnetosphere of Saturn in preparation to the CASSINI mission, or understanding the complex interaction of the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet with Jupiter's magnetosphere. He has also conducted magnetospheric studies around the Earth using data from geosynchronous satellites. For these topics, Dr. Maurice has authored or co-authored over 15 refered papers. Still a post-doc in Los Alamos, Dr. Maurice has been involved in the analysis of Lunar Prospector data, a work still in progress. |
