In the area of Space Weather, I study how Earth’s magnetic field interacts with the solar wind. The solar wind is a fully ionized plasma that is constantly flowing out of the sun. The solar wind causes a wide variety of electrical and magnetic phenomenon above Earth’s atmosphere, the most widely known of which is the aurora. This region ...

Brainwave Specialist, Web Designer, and Hub Curator

Paras explores applications that utilize brain wave analysis, multimedia, and neurofeedback for interactive gaming to train the brain for learning and rehabilitation. Paras is testing how tuning the mind for the brain to emit low frequencies with  coherence between the right and left hemispheres of the brain can stimulate wellness in the physical body. 

Paras has been managing web projects for over 15 years including 10 years as Director of Web Communications at George Mason University.

Professor of Physics, George Mason University Chair, Department of Physics and Astronomy

Dr. Dworzecka’s research interests include investigating the dynamical properties of low energy heavy ion collisions, with the goal of understanding the basic reaction mechanism and the associated nuclear excitation modes. The emphasis is on gaining insight into the basic physical process rather than model building. She has developed computer software for use in upper level physics courses and WEB resources for lower level physics and astronomy courses.

Biography

Alexandra, who goes by Sasha, began her undergraduate study at George Mason University (GMU) in 2007 and completed a B.S. in Neuroscience in 2011. She was an undergraduate researcher at the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study (2010- 2011) and a lab manager and research assistant at the Center for the Study of Neuroeconomics (2009 – 2012).

In 2012, Sasha received a Postbaccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where she worked as a research fellow in the NIAAA Laboratory of Neurogenetics until 2014. While at NIH, she received training in bioinformatics, cluster computing, and statistics.

Sasha now works at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a medical education researcher in the Department of Surgery.

Research

As a research assistant at the Center for the Study of Neuroeconomics, Sasha supported behavioral experiments evaluating the impacts of genetics and incentives on human decision-making using fMRI and the virtual world of Second Life. At NIH, she researched the phylogenies and interspecific neural expression of the MAO genes while contributing to projects ranging from the ...
