Dr. Moretto Jorgensen is a program manager at NASA Ames Research center in the Spaceflight Division, with focus on the utilization and advancement of New Space technologies. She is associated with NASA’s Small Spacecraft Virtual Institute with the mission to advance the field of small spacecraft systems and allied sciences by promoting innovation, exploring new concepts, identifying emerging technology opportunities, and establishing effective conduits for collaboration and dissemination of research results relevant to small spacecraft systems and subsystems. Prior to joining NASA in 2021, Dr. Moretto Jorgensen was a senior scientist and adviser on research management and planning at the Department of Physics and Technology, University of Bergen, Norway. There, she was attached to the Space Plasma Physics group and participated in the research activities of the group. She also was the Associate Coordinator for the ESA Geomagnetic Expert Service Centre, an international collaboration of geomagnetic data providers to maintain and expand ESA’s geomagnetic space weather service. Further she served as a member of the Mission Advisory Group and co-lead on the phase-0 science for the Daedalus satellite project, one of three candidates under consideration by ESA for the next installment (EE10) of the Earth Explorers program.From 2004 to 2017, Dr. Moretto Jorgensen enjoyed a distinguished career at the National Science Foundation. As Head of the Geospace Sciences Section, she led the foundation’s research and education activities in Geospace science and served as the principal spokesperson at the foundation in this area of research. Significant achievements during her tenure at NSF include: founding the CubeSat program at NSF, for which she received the Director’s Award for Excellence in Program Management in 2008; defining and leading the implementation of a new dedicated program for space weather research, established in 2013; instituting a program in collaboration with NASA to foster the development of integrative space science models; establishing extended network observing capabilities, prominent examples of which are AMPERE and SuperDARN; increasing diversity of NSF staff, review panels, and award recipients; promoting science to a broad audience through high-visibility interviews and keynote presentations. In recognition of extraordinary leadership and community service in the field of space science, particularly for her role in the support of CubeSat technology, Dr. Moretto Jorgensen was bestowed AGU’s 2020 Waldo E. Smith award. She also currently is serving as the President Elect for AGU’s Space Physics and Aeronomy Section. Dr. Moretto Jorgensen has made scientific contributions to the understanding of the coupled solar wind - magnetosphere - ionosphere system based on the analysis and interpretation of large datasets from a wide variety of sources, counting ground-based ionospheric measurements, low-altitude polar orbiting magnetic satellite observations, plasma and field measurements from a large number of satellites in the solar wind and magnetosphere, and results from global magneto-hydro-dynamic simulations of the system. Specific accomplishments include ground-braking results related to the nature and origin of traveling convection vortices in the high latitude ionosphere. She also obtained important results on the dynamics of ionospheric current systems, including investigations related to space weather effects. She is the author or co-author of more than 50 publications in international refereed journals and have given more than 30 invited presentations at international conferences. Her h-index is 20.
