Dr. Charles Owolabi earned a Bachelors of Technology in Physics Electronics and a Masters of Technology in Space Physics from the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA), Nigeria in 2009 and 2014, respectively. In July of 2020, he obtained a Ph.D. in Geophysics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Hefei, China. Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow at the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, working under a NASA scientist at Goddard Space Flight Center. He was a Postdoctoral scholar at the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, China, from September 2020 to March 2022. Between July and September of 2020, he was a visiting research scholar at USTC. From October 2012 to August 2015, he worked as a Physics Tutor at the Centre for Continuing Education, FUTA. His research interests include thermosphere-ionosphere coupling, space weather/climate, and Geomagnetism. He has engaged in significant scientific research projects, including IAG-FA-GSWR-JSG1: Coupling mechanisms between magnetosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere (MTI) and Space Science Research Networks (SSRN). He has authored/co-authored more than 15 SCI-indexed articles and 2 AGU conference papers. Currently, he employs machine learning techniques for the precise assessment and prediction of thermospheric density for accurate low Earth orbit prediction.
