Welcome

I am a space physicist interested in understanding fundamental plasma processes in planetary environments, such as planetary magnetospheres and planetary moons in the solar system. In my research, I combine numerical modeling with satellite observations to study a variety of planetary environments and understand how they interact with their surrounding space plasmas.

Prospective Students

I am interested in hearing from students who are enthusiastic about conducting research related to planetary magnetospheres and planetary moons. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested.
