Dr. Feldman was born in 1940. He received a bachelor's degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1961 and later earned a doctorate in nuclear structure from Stanford University in 1968. He has 17 years of experience in analyzing and interpreting solar wind and magnetospheric data. He has participated in the design of seven plasma experiments and an energetic electron dosimeter. Dr. Feldman was the Principal Investigator on a total-absorption neutron spectrometer rocket experiment and a fast neutron spectrometer launched aboard the Naval Research Laboratory LAEC spacecraft. He was also a Co-Investigator on a variety of missions, including Pioneer 10 and 11, IMP 6, 7 and 8, ISEE 1,2 and 3, Mariner 10, Giotto JPA and the Ulysses Space Plasma Physics Experiments. Dr. Feldman was also a member of the Mars Observer Gamma Ray Spectrometer Team, with responsibility for the neutron sensor/charged particle anti-coincidence shield and is chairman of the Solar Probe Science Study Team. He has authored or co-authored more than 180 scientific papers.
