Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEdgar Bering is a Professor of Physics and ECE at the University of Houston with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and over three decades of hands-on post-doctoral experience in space plasma physics. He has led and flown more than 40 sounding rocket and 57 balloon experiments, contributed to satellite experiment preparation, and helped develop plasma and field instrumentation across a broad spectrum of missions. His work spans plasma probes, electric and magnetic field sensors, wave and particle detectors, and atmospheric X-ray measurements, including studies at the South Pole and magnetospheric cusp. Alongside experimental leadership, Edgar brings deep practical skills in programming, data processing, and hardware repair, and even contributes to open-source C++ projects such as the well-known Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. Currently engaged in VASIMR advanced propulsion development at Ad Astra Rocket Company, he combines rigorous academic research with applied propulsion and instrumentation engineering. Colleagues describe him as a geometric group theorist hobbyist programmer who persistently intends to integrate computing more decisively into his research.
