Professional Interests:
Edward L. Chupp works in the general area of High Energy Astrophysics including Cosmic and Solar gamma-ray/neutron astronomy. He has been Principal Investigator for the Gamma- Ray Spectrometer experiments on the OSO-7 and the Solar Maximum Mission satellite missions, which made pioneering observations of solar flare gamma rays and neutrons, as well as on several balloon projects. He is the lead author of numerous papers on gamma-ray astronomy and a monograph that reviewed the field, with emphasis on experimental techniques. He has considerable experience in the analysis and interpretation of data from gamma-ray astronomy experiments. In addition, he has been thesis advisor to more than 10 graduate students, several of whom are currently making independent contributions to solar physics and astrophysics.
Currently he continues preparation of papers on high energy solar physics and is working on a paper with Columbia University describing the performance of the Liquid Xenon telescope in the near space environment.
