Research Interests

• Solar Transients and Space Weather: Investigating the evolution and impact of ICMEs, CIRs, and shocks on heliospheric plasma conditions, geomagnetic activity, and cosmic ray modulation.

• Turbulence and Multiscale Dynamics: Exploring solar wind turbulence, energy cascades, and dissipation processes across fluid to kinetic scales, with a focus on current sheets, waves, and plasma heating.

• Wave–Particle Interactions: Characterizing electrostatic and electromagnetic plasma waves (e.g., ion acoustic waves, ESWs, whistlers) and their role in particle acceleration, energy transfer, and microphysical processes.

• Plasma Micro-Instabilities: Analyzing temperature anisotropy-driven instabilities in the solar wind, ICMEs, and magnetosheath to understand plasma heating and cooling.

• Cosmic Ray Transport in the Heliosphere: Examining how large-scale solar events and heliospheric turbulence modulate cosmic ray intensities.
