Kareem Sorathia

Dr. Kareem Sorathia is a geospace scientist and Principal Professional Staff member in the Solar and Space Physics Group within APL’s Space Exploration Sector. With over 15 years of experience modeling astrophysical and space plasmas, he brings expertise spanning theory, applied mathematics, and high-performance computing. His research focuses on cross-scale magnetospheric dynamics and the feedback loops that couple the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere. As part of this work, he leads the development of the Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment (MAGE) model within NASA’s DRIVE (Diversify, Realize, Integrate, Venture, Educate) Science Center for Geospace Storms (CGS), supervising a multi-institutional team advancing next-generation numerical models from the lower atmosphere to the distant magnetotail.
