James Adams, a principal research scientist at the Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has been elevated to senior member by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Only 10% of IEEE members achieve selection to become senior members, the highest professional grade of IEEE for which a member may apply. Adams joined UAH in 2012 after retiring from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center.
Prior to his stint with Marshall, Adams worked at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. Adams is currently part of a NASA Roadmapping Team to identify the research that is needed to prepare for sending space crews to the moon and Mars and is developing computational tools to predict radiation effects on spacecraft.
