CSE Distinguished Professor

Research Interests:

Energization and loss of relativistic electrons in Van Allen belts

Building on our research utilizing data from the NASA STEREO satellites perigee passes that discovered very large amplitude waves capable of accelerating electrons to MeV energies in fraction of a second, we are using data from the Van Allen Probes satellites to examine dynamics of the Earth’s radiation belts. Our work shows that electron energization can be coherent and rapid rather than stochastic and…

Jie Ding

Data Science Initiative

Associate Professor, School of Statistics

Research Interests:

My research is at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and signal processing. I like to formulate and address novel research problems that are often inspired by foundational thoughts in statistics, information theory, signal processing, and optimization.  I address those research problems often by establishing new mathematical models, using asymptotic statistics and probability theory, and performing real-world data studies.
