      FDTD Modeling of Space Weather Hazards to Electric Power Grids• Developed a three-dimensional FDTD model of the Earth-ionosphere waveguide to predict electromagnetic field behavior during space weather events. (FDTD, FORTRAN)• Ran codes on a petascale supercomputer and compared ground-level FDTD results with measured magnetometer data. (Supercomputing, SuperMAG, INTERMAGNET)• Improving the computing efficiency by a factor of 100.• Supported through the National Science Foundation’s PREEVENTS program: Comprehensive Hazard Analysis for Resilience to Geomagnetic Extreme Disturbances (CHARGED).
