6 | Angeline | Burrell | U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C., USA | angeline.burrell@nrl.navy.mil | Research Physicist (PhD completed in 2012) | I am an ionospheric scientist who is also involved in community programming efforts. My investigations currently focus on interactions within the ionosphere. For example, how and when interactions with the sun, neutral atmosphere, and magnetic field are important. I take an observational approach, primarily using radars and satellites. |

13 | Christopher | Lorch | Lancaster University | c.lorch@lancaster.ac.uk | PhD (started in 2018) | My research looks into the structure of currents within the Jovian magnetodisc. How do asymmetries affect the location of field aligned currents? I use all available magnetometer data to calculate the radial and azimuthal current densities, their divergences and hence infer the location of field aligned currents in the magnetodisc. |
