Education


Dr McAteer graduated from Queen's University Belfast with a Masters in Physics with Astrophysics in 2000. He completed his Ph. D. from Queen's University Belfast with this thesis Low Frequency Oscillations of the Solar Atmosphere.[2] in 2004.[3]


Career


McAteer is a Professor of Astronomy, and Astronomy Department Chair, at New Mexico State University.[4] After completing his thesis, he moved to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center from 2004 to 2008, as a NASA STEREO scientist. He won a European Union Marie Curie Fellowship in 2008, which he took at Trinity College Dublin. He started at New Mexico State University in 2010, and became the director of the newly formed Sunspot Solar Observatory in 2016.

He is noted for wide-ranging contributions to solar physics and space plasma physics, including chromospheric heating,[5] space weather[6] and turbulence.[7] His research includes cross disciplinary papers in image processing, computer vision and big data.[8] His research includes the subject of spectropolarimetry. He was awarded a NSF Career award in 2013.

In 2020 he was appointed to the New Mexico State Commission for Space History[9]

He was a member of the 2020 National Academy of Science Decadel Survey in Astrophysics.[10]

In 2019 he published "The Planets".[citation needed]

He was awarded the NMSU "Truly Innovative Teaching" Award from New Mexico State University in 2022.

He was appointed as the first Associate Provost Senior at NMSU in August 2022[11]
