Kevin Genestreti is a space physicist affiliated with the University of New Hampshire, where he has worked at the Space Science Center.[1] His research concerns magnetic reconnection, including its rate, structure, and electron-scale dynamics as observed by spacecraft missions.[2]

Education

Genestreti earned a B.S. from the University of New Hampshire between 2008 and 2012, and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas at San Antonio between 2012 and 2016.[3]

Career

Genestreti worked as a Doctoral Researcher in the Space Science and Engineering Division at Southwest Research Institute from 2012 to 2016.[4] He then served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Space Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences from 2016 to 2018.[5] In 2018, he joined the Space Science Center at the University of New Hampshire as a Research Scientist.[6] In 2019, he took a position as a Research Scientist in the Earth, Oceans and Space division of Southwest Research Institute.[7]

Research

Genestreti has published 126 papers that have collectively received 2,156 citations, with an h-index of 29 according to Semantic Scholar.[8] His work centers on magnetic reconnection in space plasmas, including studies using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission on the electron-scale structure of the diffusion region, the reconnection rate, and the effects of guide fields on energy conversion during reconnection.[9]
