Dr. Mazur is an Associate Director of the Space Sciences Department at The
Aerospace Corporation. He has a B.S. degree in Physics from the University
of Chicago, and M. S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the University of
Maryland. He has over twenty years of experience in space science and space
hazard effects, including advanced particle detectors, space physics, solar
energetic particles, trapped particles in the Earth's magnetosphere, and
space environment effects on space systems. He is active in the design and
construction of advanced particle detectors, the analysis of space physics
data from spacecraft, and the design of low-impact space environment
monitors. His scientific research interests include the composition,
acceleration, and transport of solar energetic particles in interplanetary
space and trapped particles in the Earth's magnetosphere. He was
co-investigator on the NASA Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle
Explorer, the NASA/ESA Ulysses mission, the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter, and was an instrument investigator on the NASA Advanced Composition
Explorer spacecraft. He is currently principal investigator of a high-energy
proton spectrometer for the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission
