Research
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences (APS) Department at the University of Colorado (CU), as well as a researcher at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, CO.
My area of research is experimental space plasma physics: using analysis of spacecraft data to investigate fundamental plasma physics processes within our solar system.
My research is focused on plasma waves, wave-particle interactions, and interactions between spacecraft and the space plasma environment.
More specific topics and projects are listed below.
