The Speaker
Dr. Tamitha Skov
Research Scientist, Aerospace Corporation
Dr. Tamitha Skov works actively in the fields of solar and space physics, focusing on solar transient phenomena such as coronal mass ejections, solar flares, solar energetic particles, and galactic cosmic rays. She is particularly concerned with the effects these phenomena have on space assets in the Earth’s magnetosphere, the effects on radio communication and GPS signals in the ionosphere, and induced currents at ground level. She is an instructor at the Aerospace Institute and serves on multiple review and anomaly teams for NASA, NOAA, and other government and private contractors. She has served as an audio forensics analyst and instructor for the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC), hosted at Aerospace and funded by the Department of Justice. She also performs extensive STEM outreach through her space weather forecast videos, live broadcasts, and social media presence. For space weather forecasts see: http://www.spaceweatherwoman.com/
Dr. Tamitha Skov obtained her M.S. (2000) & Ph.D (2002) in Geophysics and Planetary Physics, specifically on Geophysics and Space Plasma Physics, from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - Earth and Space Sciences. She had her B.S. in Physics (1996, with honors) and also Physical Chemistry (1996) from UCLA as well. She was the Advanced Program Manager in the Northrop Grumman Corporation during 2002 – 2004, and the Research Scientist with The Aerospace Corporation since 2004.
