Connor Feltman works with Dr. Scott Bounds researching space plasma as pertaining to auroral phenomena. He engages in testing hardware and processing data for rocket missions launched into the northern hemisphere to observe the connection between auroral events, their composite particles and Earth's magnetic field.

He is the project manager for the OCHRE sounding rocket mission and was part of the ACES-II campaign, focusing the majority of his PhD work on studying the results of this mission by analyzing the electric and magnetic fields instruments as well as the electron particle electrostatic analyzers.
