Marc Kornbleuth completed PhD at Boston University in 2020 under the guidance of Prof. Merav Opher. He has past experiences studying the heating and acceleration of solar winds for the Sun and M dwarf stars through numerical modeling, as well as geocoronal charge exchange. His current research focus is on magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the global heliosphere, as well as energetic neutral atom (ENA) modeling. His research goals include determining the shape of the heliosphere, understanding the role of the solar magnetic field in shaping the heliotail, and using ENAs to identify physical processes occurring in the heliosheath, such as magnetic reconnection. He currently serves as the director of the Global Heliosphere (RT1) Team within SHIELD, a NASA DRIVE Science Center, which is led by Prof. Opher.
