Dr. Lawrence received his B.Sc. in physics and mathematics from Texas Christian University in 1990, followed by his M.A. in physics from Washington University, St. Louis in 1992 and his Ph.D. in physics from Washington University, St. Louis in 1996. Since arriving at Los Alamos, Dr. Lawrence has contributed to a variety of space physics and planetary science projects. These include preparing data analysis code and carrying out data analysis for the Lunar Prospector mission. He has also assisted in the construction, testing, and calibration of the Plasma Experiment for Planetary Exploration (PEPE) instrument for the NASA New Millennium program. He has also conducted magnetospheric studies using data from the LANL Magnetospheric Plasma Analyzer instruments. Prior to his work at Los Alamos, he designed, tested, flew, and analyzed data for a high-altitude balloon experiment designed to measure the elemental abundances of the galactic cosmic rays heavier than iron. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union, the American Physical Society, and a full member of Sigma Xi. Dr. Lawrence has authored or co-authored over twenty papers on balloon and spacecraft instrumentation along with topics of space and planetary science.
