Malcolm DUNLOP

On Cluster, MWD is Co-I on FGM, and on Double Star he is Co-I on FGM and PEACE, and G-I on CIS and HEED. He is employed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory both to ensure full exploitation of STP and Planetary spacecraft data at RAL, particularly the Polar (CEPPAD), Cluster and Double-star (RAPID, FGM, PEACE) datasets, and to support post launch Cluster and Double-star activities, particularly those relating to data quality (calibration) and data archiving. He is a member of a large number of science consortia, international working groups and Guest investigator teams, and is on a number of other independent, ESA sponsored, science teams. He plays a key mission role at science team and data centre meetings and in science workshop organisation. He is in the process of becoming a visiting Reader at Imperial College London and previously was employed at Imperial College as a Principle Research Fellow. He has gained extensive experience in the data segment and operations planning on a number of missions.
