SUMMARY OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Dr. MacNeice has recently concentrated on numerical modelling of solar
and space plasmas using both fluid and particle codes, with special
emphasis on application to massively parallel architectures, in support
of the NASA Earth and Space Sciences High Performance Computing and
Communications project. For the last 3 years he has lectured on Particle-Mesh
techniques at the NASA Summer School for High Performance Computational
Physics.
He has over six years of professional experience in theoretical
and observational research on Solar coronal activity. He has developed and
applied numerical codes which model the energetics of coronal loop plasmas.
He has also studied the effects of non-maxwellian velocity distributions
on energy transport within plasmas. His experience of observational solar
physics includes a two year period during which he acted as daily scientific
planner of observations with the X-ray Polychromator aboard the Solar
Maximum Mission satellite.


ORGANISATION        POSITION           DATE             SUPERVISOR 

Hughes STX          Senior Scientist   February 1989 -- Dr. T. Opsahl  
Lanham, MD                             Present          

Currently working on theoretical numerical modelling of solar and space plasmas
using both fluid and particle codes with emphasis on developing 
particle-mesh algorithms
suitable for massively parallel architectures.


National Research   Resident Research  February 1987 -- Dr. D.S. Spicer 
Council,            Associate at       February 1989    
Washington, DC      NASA/GSFC        


Held a resident research associateship award from the National Research
Council, at NASA--Goddard Space Flight Center. These awards are made
following national competitions among selected scientists and engineers at
the doctoral and post doctoral levels to provide opportunities for
independent research on topics of interest to the host laboratory.
Associated with the Solar Physics Branch, he worked on the numerical simulation
of solar coronal plasmas using both fluid and particle techniques. He also
worked on the theory of transport processes in non-maxwellian plasmas,
particularly the extension of heat flux calculations outside the limited
high density collisional regime in the classical theory.

Rutherford Appleton  Research Associate November 1983 -- Dr. R.W.P. McWhirter
Laboratory, UK SERC,                    January 1987  
Oxfordshire, England


As a research associate in the Space and Astrophysics division he was largely
free to conduct independent research work in the field of solar physics.
This included numerical modelling of the energetics of flaring soft X-ray
plasmas. Also worked on the analysis of multiwavelength observations of
solar flares using both ground and satellite based instruments. For two years
he spent approximately one third of his time as scientific planner for the
X-ray Polychromator on the Solar Maximum Satellite, with responsibility
for developing and managing the implementation of instrument observing
sequences. He served for two years as the deputy convener of the UK Solar
Physics Study Panel, reporting to the Planetary Sciences Committee of the
Royal Society and producing a regular solar physics newsletter distributed
throughout the UK.
