Ingrid Mann

Ingrid Mann is a Professor in Space Physics at the UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Department of Physics and Technology. She leads and participates in multiple externally funded research initiatives including the Cosmic dust injection into the upper Earth atmosphere, MXD 2 rocket project to study the mesosphere, and EISCAT Research infrastructure project.

• ORCID: 0000-0002-2805-3265
• Member of research group Space Physics
• Member of projects: Intermittent fluctuations in physical systems, Maxidusty-2, CASCADE, Codia, Boosting Space Business, and Forskningsparken 1 A216

Her research spans space and atmospheric physics, focusing on dusty plasmas, cosmic dust dynamics, and polar atmosphere interactions. She employs spacecraft observations, EISCAT radar, rocket experiments, and machine learning for data analysis.

Recent publications highlight cosmic dust detection with Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, PMSE multilayer properties, and dust impact signal modeling. Her work integrates radar, optical, and spacecraft data to understand polar atmospheric systems.

She teaches FYS-2000 Kvantemekanikk, FYS-2019 Sun, Planets, and Space, and supervises G-Chaser student rocket projects. Her research group contributes to EISCAT_3D infrastructure and interplanetary dust modeling.
