1 Meng Jin CONTACT INFORMATION RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS Lockheed Martin Solar & Astrophysics Lab (LMSAL) Tel: (650) Hanover St. Bldg Palo Alto, CA jinmeng My primary research interest is focused on the origin of space weather: solar activity in the form of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), CME-driven shocks, and solar energetic particles (SEPs). Each of these phenomena plays an important role in driving space weather, which affects the well being of satellites and astronauts in space. Through numerical modeling of major geo-effective CME events and comparing the results with in-situ and remote sensing observations, we can better understand the physical processes at work during the propagation of CMEs from the Sun through the heliosphere. Such an understanding will ultimately achieve better space weather forecasts. I am also interested in analyzing multi-wavelength observations of the Sun, especially those related to the energetic solar phenomena (e.g., CMEs and flares), from which we can obtain constrains for theoretical models and be inspired to include more physics in the modeling effort. My recent research activity extends to the exo-solar and exo-planetary systems to simulate their stellar winds and stellar CMEs as well as the influences on the habitability of the exo-planets.
