Jeongwoo Lee

Jeongwoo Lee is a Research Professor at the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). His research focuses on solar physics, plasma dynamics, and space weather, particularly studying magnetic flux ropes, coronal mass ejections, and solar flares. He leads and collaborates on major projects such as the Study of Small-scale Ejections from the Photosphere to the Corona (NASA-funded) and Small-scale Ejections in the Sun’s Photosphere through Chromosphere and Corona (NSF-funded). Lee has published extensively since 1992, with over 70 articles and significant contributions to solar radio observations, magnetic reconnection, and solar wind studies.

Education and Affiliations: While specific academic degrees are not detailed in the text, his role as a Research Professor indicates advanced training in astrophysics or space physics. Collaborations include institutions like Seoul National University, Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials, and international observatories such as the Owens Valley Solar Array.

Research Interests: Lee’s work spans solar magnetic fields, coronal heating, flare dynamics, and interplanetary space weather. Key areas include analyzing microwave bursts, magnetic flux rope evolution, and the impact of solar eruptions on Earth’s magnetosphere. His interdisciplinary approach integrates observational data from satellites (e.g., Parker Solar Probe) and ground-based instruments (e.g., DKIST).

Grants and Projects:

• Active Projects (2024–2026): NASA-funded study on small-scale solar ejections and NSF-supported research on photospheric-chromospheric dynamics.
• Past Projects (2003–2025): Investigations of solar activity using Owens Valley Solar Array instruments and studies on solar particle events.

Labs and Teams: His work is anchored at NJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research, a hub for heliophysics research. Collaborators include experts like Hao Wang (CoPI), Valentin Yurchyshyn, and international teams analyzing solar radio emissions and magnetic structures.
