My name is Lindsay Goodwin (they/them, she/her), and I am an Assistant Professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology working in the Center for Solar-terrestrial Research. I love research, learning, teaching, and DEIA+!
In addition to performing my own research, I host the "Goodwin Group Gatherings". Attendees are either folks I supervise and mentor, or NJIT folks I work closely with.
GGG Regulars:
William Longley, PhD (Assistant Research Professor, He/Him) - Plasma and Thomson scatter expert!Chirag Skolar, PhD (Postdoctoral Researcher, He/Him) - Expert in computational plasma physics. Currently computing backscatter spectra from arbitrary ion velocity distributions.
Bimal Dahal, MSc (Graduate Student, He/Him) - Characterizing plasma density variations and structures in the high-latitude ionosphere.
Aidan Thayer, MSc (Graduate Student, They/Them) - Current focus is using incoherent scatter radars to characterize ion temperature anisotropy in the ionosphere due to O+-O resonant charge exchange.
Pranay KC (Undergraduate Student, He/Him) - Current focus is using incoherent scatter radars to characterize plasma signatures associated with STEVE events, and resolve their magnetospheric structure.

My goal is to take participants on a journey that connects them to the learning objectives of the class, but is considerate of their aims, identities, strengths, and weaknesses. I want my classroom to be an environment that folks want to be a part of and one where we collaborate together.
