Nick Murphy is an astrophysicist at the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Nick attended the University of Michigan as an undergraduate, and then went to the University of Wisconsin in Madison for graduate school in astronomy. Nick began believing in open source software while still a student, even going so far as to include Fortran subroutines in an appendix of his thesis. Nick has been at the Center for Astrophysics for the last decade working largely on magnetic reconnection in solar eruptions. Nick was a co-organizer of the Inclusive Astronomy 2015 conference and co-founded the American Astronomical Society's Working Group on Accessibility and Disability, and is now a member of the APS DPP Diversity Equity and Inclusion Organizing Collective Committee. Over the last few years, Nick has been a core contributor to PlasmaPy, which is an open source software package for plasma research and education.
