Lynn M. Kistler
Professor Lynn Kistler’s primary research focuses on using ion composition as a tool to study the sources, transport and acceleration of magnetospheric particle populations. She is also involved in studies of the solar wind and heliospheric populations. Her research includes the design, development, and testing of state-of-the art instrumentation for spacecraft missions including Cluster, FAST, Equator-S, ACE, STEREO and Solar Orbiter.
