| Dr. Korreck's research interests include causes of Space Weather, particle acceleration, shock physics in the heliosphere and in supernova remnants. As SAO Project Scientist for the NASA rocket High Resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C), she managed the funding, technical staff, and construction of the telescope leading to the highest resolution images ever of the Sun's hot atmosphere. Kelly created the Solar Research Experience for Undergraduates internship program at SAO. She is currently the Head of Science Operations for the Solar Wind Electrons, Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) plasma instrument suite aboard NASA's Solar Probe Plus mission to enter the Sun's atmosphere. She works at the intersection of science and engineering, ensuring the best data from this once in a lifetime mission by optimizing the operations of the instruments and the analysis of the scientific data.
Speaker Bio
Dr. Kelly E. Korreck earned her B.S. in Physics and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Space Physics from the University of Michigan. She's an astrophysicist in the High Energy Astrophysics Division, and joined the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) in 2002. She is a researcher in the Solar and Stellar X-Ray Group, which serves as a major partner in the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) investigation on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), the X-Ray Telescope aboard the Hinode solar mission, as well as the telescope for the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE).
