 Dr. Albarran is an expert in hybrid modeling of auroral space plasmas. He is the sole creator of KAOS (Kinetic model of Auroral ion OutflowS), a Direct-Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) model of the ionospheric outflow with kinetic and semi-kinetic capabilities. Dr. Albarran has extensive experience in high-performance computing of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and spacecraft-plasma interactions. Dr. Albarran is a NASA Heliophysics Subject Matter Expert (SME), Local Science Partner of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), member of the Computational and Information Systems Lab High Performance Computing (HPC) Allocations Panel at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and liaison to the Heliophysics Coalition. He received a B.S. in Astronomy from the University of Hawai’i at Hilo, M.S., and Ph.D. in Engineering Physics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, and post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California Los Angeles. Dr. Albarran was a polar ionospheric scientist working in part of the NASA DRIVE Science Center for Geospace Storms (CGS) from 2022-2024. He was honored with the 2011 John Mather Nobel Scholar Award from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and was lauded as 2024 Top Scientist in Marquis Who’s Who in America.
