Associate Professor, George Mason University Director, Space Weather Lab – Department of Physics and Astronomy
My research involves two broad areas: Space Weather (or Space Plasma Physics) and Data Sciences. My research interests include magnetospheric physics and geomagnetism, solar wind/magnetosphere/ionosphere coupling, inverse methods for magnetospheric modeling, nonlinear dynamics, decision theory applied to rare event forecasting, scientific visualization, and large-scale time series databases.

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 ...

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.

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.
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 ...
