Dr. Simone Di Matteo

About

Welcome! My name is Simone Di Matteo and I am a Space Physicist! I obtained my PhD in 2019 at the University of L’Aquila working on the identification of Ultra Low Frequency waves in the Earth’s magnetosphere and periodic density structures in the solar wind. I am currently a Research Scholar at The Catholic University of America (CUA) and NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) working as a PI on a NASA grant aimed to understand the geo-effectiveness of solar wind periodic density structures.

Research interests

My research topics span from our star, the Sun, to our home, the Earth. My main interest is the interaction between the solar wind, the flux of charged particles coming from the Sun, and the Earth’s magnetosphere, the cavity in which the Earth’s magnetic field is confined by the solar wind. Particularly, I study the magnetospheric wave activity resulting from the impact of solar wind mesoscale structures.
