Welcome!
I am a researcher in the academic discipline of space physics and space weather. My main area of research: the study of ionospheric and space plasma phenomena using a variety of ground-based and satellite-borne diagnostic instruments. These space phenomena include traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs), acoustic-gravity waves (AGWs), and equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs). Useful observation instruments for studying these ionospheric phenomena include ionosondes, ground-based GPS receiver network, incoherent scatter radars (ISRs), ground-based magnetometers, ground-based optical instruments (including photometers, all-sky imagers, and Fabry-Perot interferometers), and various satellite missions.
International collaborations are essential in this line of work, both from the point of view of experimental observations and to encourage active exchanges of new theoretical ideas. For these reasons, capacity-building programs for space scientists in developing countries are important — which we routinely organize.
