The HPEPL family is proud to celebrate Jason Frieman's successful defense! Dr. Frieman's dissertation is on background neutral flow ingestion in which he develops a robust model that aids in modeling the true performance of HET's using the known dimensions of a test chamber. Dr. Frieman will continue to lead the EP community as an expert in Hall Effect thruster testing and characterization at NASA Glenn Research Center.
