Weijia Kuang

I have been working at the Planetary Geodynamics Laboratory in NASA Goddard Space flight center (GSFC) as an applied mathematician/geophysicist since 2002. Currently I am a head of Core and Crustal Magnetics Section there (since 2006). I obtained my PhD in mathematics at University of California, Los Angeles in 1992. Then I went to Harvard University as a postdoctoral fellow and a research associate. I joined University of Maryland, Baltimore County as a research associate professor in 1998 and stayed there before becoming a scientist in NASA GSFC in 2002. My main research interests include numerical modeling of geodynamo and planetary dynamos, geomagnetic data assimilation, core-mantle interactions, Earth's rotation variation and time-variable gravity.
