Biography

Alexander Lozinski is a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of California Los Angeles, where he researches the physics of Earth’s radiation belts with a focus on event-based prediction and space weather forecasting.

He completed his PhD at the British Antarctic Survey and University of Cambridge in 2021, and during this time developed the BAS-PRO numerical model of Earth’s proton radiation belt. He continues to collaborate with BAS on the Sat-Risk project, which involves implementing a real-time version of BAS-PRO to predict the exposure of orbiting satellites to trapped proton radiation.

Research interests

I am primarily interested in Earth’s proton radiation belt, and the exposure of orbiting satellites to trapped proton radiation. I also have an interest in numerical modelling, and am the developer of BAS-PRO, the British Antarctic Survey proton belt model.

My interests are tied together in the Sat Risk project, where I am working on implementing a real-time forecast of proton belt flux using BAS-PRO. This will be used to calculate the solar cell degradation of satellites in real time.
