Peter Kollmann

Dr. Peter Kollmann is a physicist who studies space plasma throughout our Solar System using satellite observations and theory. He received his Ph.D. in 2012 and today works at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. He is deeply nvolved with all of the recent planetary missions to Jupiter and Saturn, and other missions such as Venus Express and New Horizons, where he is one of the instrument scientists. He has published in a variety of subjects from plasma at Venus, to the radiation belts of giant planets, to the interplanetary medium around Pluto. Dr Kollmann’s work commonly combines various techniques of data analysis and numerical modeling. He supports the community by organizing sessions at conferences that bring together different communities and by leading or contributing to White Papers that influence NASA’s and ESA’s future science priorities.
