Dr. Ian J. Cohen is a Senior Professional Staff member and Assistant Group Supervisor of the Geospace & Earth Science Group at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). His research interests focus on experimental space physics, specifically including magnetosphere-iononsphere coupling (e.g., ion outflow, auroral dynamics, and ionospheric feedback); energetic particle dynamics; and plasma and energetic particle instrumentation. He is very interested in mission concept and instrument development and currently serves as Deputy Lead for the MMS/EPD investigation and Instrument Scientist for the MMS Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EIS) instrument and Deputy Project Scientist for NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission.

In addition to his mission leadership roles and research interests, Ian is active in community leadership in solar and space physics advocacy. As Solar and Space Physics External Engagements Lead for the APL Civil Space Mission Area and Chair of the AGU/SPA Section's Advocacy Committee, he coordinates engagement and messaging between the solar and space physics community and stakeholders and policymakers to educate on and promote the benefits of solar and space physics research.
