Rickard Lundin is Professor Emeritus at the University of Umea, Sweden, and the Swedish Institute of Space Physics. He started his career as an experimentalist in space plasma physics, eventually becoming involved in the design and development of space plasma instrumentation on rockets, and satellites. He served as Principal Investigator of plasma energy-mass analyzers on nine space missions, orbiting the Earth, Mars, Venus and a comet. His main scientific interest is the solar wind-induced acceleration and escape of plasma from planets in the solar system. He is the author and co-author of over 400 scientific papers in planetary magnetospheric plasma physics. See less
