Education and career
editKozyra earned a B.S. in Astronomy & Physics (1979), an M.S. in Aeronomy (1981), and a Ph.D. in Aeronomy & Space Physics (1986) from the University of Michigan.[3] Following her Ph.D. she joined the faculty at the University of Michigan as an assistant research scientist. In 2005, Kozyra was named the George Carignan Collegiate Research Professor.[4] In 2014, Kozyra retired from her position at the University of Michigan.[4] As of 2020, Kozyra is at the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA).[5][1]
