Richard Denton is a Research Professor at Dartmouth College, collaborating extensively with researchers such as Yi-Hsin Liu and Bengt Sonnerup. He holds a B.S. from the College of William and Mary, an M.A. from SUNY at Stony Brook, and a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland.
His research focuses on computational plasma physics, specializing in:
- Magnetospheric density modeling and Alfvén wave analysis
- Magnetic reconnection dynamics and visualization techniques
- Wave-particle interactions (EMIC, whistler waves)
- MHD wave simulations and anisotropic pressure systems
Recent publications emphasize spacecraft data analysis, magnetic field reconstruction, and magnetospheric mass density modeling, demonstrating consistent innovation in space plasma diagnostics.
Active grants include:
- NSF Magnetospheric Electron Density ($367K, 2009-2012)
- NSF Magnetospheric Mass Density Model ($460K, 2006-2011)
- NASA MMS Mission: Magnetic Reconnection Geometry ($250K, 2008-2013)
- Co-I for NASA MHD Plasmasphere Modeling ($571K, 2010-2014)
- Co-I for NSF CISM Space Weather Modeling ($4.8M, 2002-2012)
- Co-I for NASA SECTP MI Coupling Dynamics ($1.5M, 2008-2011)
He leads developments in spacecraft data visualization tools and maintains collaborative projects with Dartmouth's Physics and Astronomy department through plasma physics seminars.
