Dr. Reynolds received his B.A. in Physics from the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1987, and his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1995. His dissertation was concerned with the role that waves play in the transport of energy and momentum in nonequilibrium plasmas.Â
He then spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Plasma Physics Division of the Naval Research Laboratory, where he studied space plasma physics, and three years as a faculty member at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Howard University.Â
In August 2001 he joined the faculty of the Department of Physical Sciences of ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ. He teaches physics and engineering courses and his current research interests include nonlinear Alfvén waves in the solar wind, the quiet-time structure of the inner magnetosphere and philosophy of science and the scientific method.
