Served as a Judge for the 2012 Student Paper Contest during the AAS/SPD meeting. Education and Public Outreach activities: [1] 2010 July A public outreach event at the Museum of Science (Cambridge, MA) on the Sun and SDO data. [2]2011April 2011Inspiring Minds: Meet women inscience event at themuseum of Science (Cambridge, MA). [3]2012April 2012Inspiring Minds: Meet women inscience event at themuseum of Science (Cambridge, MA). [4] 2012 April 2012 Rocket day - Solar Salvo! in Cambridge, MA. Research Interests: solar flares, filaments and their eruptions, coronal mass ejections, and the associated magnetic field configuration. My research expertise includes: Multi-wavelength data analysis (e.g., UV, EUV, X-rays, H-alpha, Radio), including case study and statistical study. I have experience in using data both from the ground (e.g., BBSO, KSO, MLSO, NORH, NORP) and from space [e.g., SOHO (EIT, MDI, LASCO), TRACE, Yohkoh/SXT, RHESSI, Hinode (XRT, SOT), STEREO (EUVI, COR1, COR2), SDO (HMI, AIA)]. Magnetic field modeling. I have extensive experience in using the flux rope insertion method developed by van Ballegooijen (2004). I have published at least 4 refereed papers as a first author using this method. The tool is called the Coronal Modeling Systems, and is mainly used for modeling non-potential magnetic fields. It has been used for studying filaments, active 2

3 regions, and sigmoids. There are more than 10 papers using this method published. In these studies, nonlinear force-free field (NLFFF) models are constructed NOT by extrapolating an observed photospheric vector field into the corona, BUT rather by inserting a magnetic flux rope into a potential-field model of the active region and then applying magneto-frictional relaxation (MFR). The models are constrained by observed non-potential structures such as Hα filaments and sheared or S-shaped coronal loops. CMS also provides various tools for comparing such 3D magnetic models with coronal image data. One can obtain various sorts of information (e.g., quasi separatrix layer, null point, dips, current, velocity) on the resulting models. This flux rope insertion method is quite flexible and provides information about the stability of the resulting fields. The unstable model which passes the threshold of instability can be used as initial conditions for full 3D MHD simulations. Mission Involvements: TRACE, Hinode/XRT, and SDO/AIA. I served as a TRACE annotator who identifies and annotates interesting events observed by TRACE. The results are stored in the HEK (Heliophysics Events Registry) data base. I operate the X-ray Telescope onboard the Hinode satellite as a Chief Observer for about three-four weeks every year. I also attend the weekly XRT operation meetings and telecons. I was involved in the calibration process for the AIA Telescope onboard SDO (specifically the plate scale and point spread functions calculations). I was also involved in the Feature Finding Team designed for the large data flows of SDO. 3
