Research Interests

Please refer to my Publication page for the complete publication list.

Primary Research Interests:

• • Solar Wind (Plasma Flow) Interaction with Unmagnetized Planets (Moons)

  • Solar Wind (Plasma Flow) Interaction with Magnetized Planets (Moons)

  • Star-Planet Interactions, (Exo)Planetary Habitability and Astrobiology

  • Wave-Particle Interaction

  • Lasers, Particle Beams, Accelerators, Radiation Generation 

  • Magnetic Reconnection, Turbulence, Dynamo, and Collisionless Shock 

  • Physics-informed Machine Learning

  • Traffic Flow and Network, and Evolutionary Game Theory 

  • Miscellaneous

Numerical Tools: 

• • Fluid: BATS-R-US multispecies/multifluid MHD code, Gkeyll 5-moment/10-moment fluid code, M-GITM code, openGGCM code.

  • Kinetic: test-particle code, OSIRIS PIC code, PSC PIC code, Tristan-MP PIC code, iPIC3D, EPOCH PIC code, LANL hybrid-PIC code, Gkeyll Vlasov-Maxwell code.

Besides, I am also interested in the following research topics:

• • Physical Oceanography --- spin-up of the Ekman layer within the context of stratification;

  • Analytical Theory of Nonlinear Differential Equation --- The Differential Form Method for Finding Symmetries (Here is an interesting paper: B. Kent Harrison SIGMA 1 (2005), 001, 12 pages);
