Dr. Rosa Fitzgerald is a Professor in Physics. She obtained an M.S in Physics from Adelphi University, N.Y. and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Riverside. She was selected to represent U.C Riverside, in the U.C System 1991 academic brochure and was a recipient of the prestigious University of California System Dissertation Fellowship. She has had post-doctoral experiences at the University of California, Irvine and at the Center for Environmental Research, CE-CERT. She was also a Faculty Fellow at JPL/NASA and a research affiliate at that laboratory for several years. She is currently the UTEP representative of a NOAA consortium of Universities throughout the U.S, a PNNL Research Affiliate, the UTEP/NCAR representative and an NCAR Member of the Higher Education Advisory Panel . She has had funding from NASA, NOAA, NSF, the Texas Higher Education, SCERP, TCEQ, etc. In addition, she is a contributing faculty member to the UTEP ESE PhD Program and to the UTEP Computational Sciences PhD Program. At UTEP she started an Atmospheric Physics research group approximately 17 years ago and an Atmospheric under-graduate Physics concentration, which have opened new career avenues for physics graduates in an expanding and marketable field.
