Sevag Derghazarian
Postdoctoral Associate Examining the relationship between space weather events such as TIDs, gravity waves (GWs), stratospheric and mesospheric winds, as well as global medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) distribution and conjugacy—their location and effect on the upper or topside ionosphere. In addition, investigating high-altitude topside irregularities using a combination of radar and satellite data.

Sevag Derghazarian is from Montreal, Canada, where he obtained his undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from École Polytechnique de Montréal. He completed his Ph.D. at Cornell University in August 2022, under the mentorship of Dr. David L. Hysell, in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a focus on Upper Atmospheric Physics. The main topic of his doctoral studies was high-altitude irregularities of the equatorial topside ionosphere. These irregularities consist of disturbances in the highest levels of the ionosphere (a level of the atmosphere characterized by a high concentration of ions) around the Earth’s magnetic equator.
