    Mentor: Dr. Daniel Welling, Prof. Michael Liemohn, Prof Xianzhe Jia Summer 2017
    Validated the Ridley Ionosphere Model used in the Space Weather Modeling Framework
    (SWMF) along with two other MHD models by initially comparing cross polar cap potential
    data with AMIE and SuperDARN radar observations, and then approaching changes in
    ionospheric conductance by analyzing previous work and studying the midlatitude current
    systems.

    Wave Solar MHD Model (AWSoM) to study the structure of the lower solar corona by com-
    parison with observational data from OMNI, LASCO C2/C3, STEREO/EUVI, SDO/AIA
