Summary:

     Simon Wing attended University of Arizona and the Johns Hopkins University. He is presently a staff scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. His research interests include modeling of open field line particle precipitation; modeling of the magnetotail pressure, density, and temperature; and solar wind-magnetosphere interaction.
     He is currently a PI on two NASA grants, one of which funds the DMSP data distribution from this web address (http://sd-www.jhuapl.edu/Aurora).
