MEMBER-AT-LARGE ELECTED
Mike Xapsos is a research physicist in the Radiation Effects and Analysis Group at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center where he oversees work in the space radiation environment. This involves developing models of the environment and evaluating radiation requirements for NASA missions. He is the Project Scientist for the Living With a Star (LWS) Space Environment Testbeds (SET) Project, responsible for its scientific objective of improving the performance of space hardware. Prior to joining NASA in 2001 he worked in the Radiation Effects Branch at the Naval Research Laboratory, where he also researched problems in device radiation physics. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in physics and chemistry from Canisius College and a Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Notre Dame. He has held the position of Guest Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science December Issue, Technical Program Chairman for the IEEE Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference, and General Chairman for the Aerospace Single Event Effects Symposium. He has published over 75 technical papers and holds 1 US patent.
