The team currently consists of three space physicists (Sojka, Zhu, Xu) and three statisticians (Gabrys, Kokoszka, Maslova).

Physicists:

Jan Sojka is Professor and Department Head in the Department of Physics and a member of the Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences (CASS), a research unit of the College of Science. He is the president of the Space Science and Aeronomy Section of the American Geophysical Union. In 2005-2007,  he chaired the National Science Foundation CEDAR Science Steering Committee. In 2002, he was selected as the Utah Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. His research interest include many areas of ionospheric and magnetospheric  physics.

Lie Zhu is Research Associate Professor in the Center for Atmospheric and Space Sciences. He served on NSF and NASA review panels. His research focuses on magnetospheric physics and M-I coupling.

Zhonghua Xu is a PhD student in the Department of Physics. He works on improving the statistical techniques resulting from  the WAMI project to obtain precise insights into the structure of selected magnetospheric currents.

Statisticians:

Piotr Kokoszka is Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. He is an Associate Editor of the journal "Statistical Modelling". His research focuses on statistical modeling of nonstandard data sets exhibiting complex multiscale dependence and nonlinearities.

Agnieszka Jach received PhD in Statistics from Utah State University in 2005. She is now Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid Spain. Her research focuses on applications of wavelet and resampling methods.

Inga Maslowa received PhD in Statistics from Utah State University in 2009, and is now Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at American University, DC. Her research has focused on applications of wavelet and functional data analysis to magnetometer data.

Robertas Gabrys is a PhD candidate in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. He works on applications of the statistical techniques developed in the course of the WAMI project to data sets arising in climatology and finance.
