معرفی
Erick Agrimson is an Associate Professor in the Mathematics department at St. Catherine University (St. Kate’s), focusing on space physics and STEM education. He specializes in high-altitude weather balloon missions to study near-space environments, including research on the Regener-Pfotzer (R-P) maxima and galactic cosmic ray showers. Agrimson holds a BS in space physics from Augsburg College and an MS from the University of Iowa, with advanced coursework toward a PhD in plasma physics.
As affiliate director of St. Kate’s portion of the Minnesota Space Grant Consortium (a NASA outreach program), he has secured over $350,000 in funding since 2009 for scholarships, undergraduate research, and STEM outreach. His teaching portfolio includes physics for health sciences, conceptual physics, ultrasound physics, medical physics, and modern physics.
His research emphasizes collaborative undergraduate projects, such as balloon deployments reaching 35,000 meters, and fostering STEM accessibility through scholarships. Agrimson’s work bridges space science and education, prioritizing hands-on student involvement in cutting-edge atmospheric studies.
