Expertise:The experimental and theoretical study of waves and wave-particle interactions in plasma. Since about 1990, work has concentrated on the solar wind, but previously a broad program of rocket exploration of the aurora, exploration of the earth’s magnetosphere, and laboratory experiments on electron beam-plasma interactions was carried out.
Current Research
Waves and instabilities in plasmas (experimental and theoretical), particularly: experiments on satellites to measure the naturally occurring waves in the earth's magnetosphere and in the solar system. Currently our group has experiments on four spacecraft orbiting the sun, measuring the electric and magnetic fields of the waves and turbulence of the solar wind.
