Vania Koleva Jordanova is a physicist known for her work on space weather and geomagnetic storms. She was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union in 2021.

Education and career

Jordanova has a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan (1995) and started at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2006[1] as a technical staff member.[2] Jordanova was the director for the Space Hazards Induced near Earth by Large Dynamic Storms (SHIELDS) project which examines hazards from space weather that can cause deleterious impacts on technology on Earth such as radio, television, and cellphones.[3][4]
