Dr. Le has authored or co-authored over 170 peer-reviewed scientific publications and technical papers. Her research interests include magnetospheric current systems; ULF waves in the region upstream of collisionless shocks, in the magnetosphere, and on the ground; the Earth's magnetopause, polar cusp, and boundary layers; solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling; and plasma irregularities in the equatorial ionosphere. Her research activities have primarily involved the analysis and interpretation of spacecraft data and ground-based magnetic field data as they relate to these research areas. She has been involved in flight teams for six NASA missions. She is currently the Project Scientist for Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission. Previously she served as the Project Scientist for the Space Technology-5 (ST-5) and Geotail missions.
