About me

I was a graduate student of Lunar and Planetary Laboratory (LPL), and also Department of Planetary Sciences in University of Arizona. I worked with Professor Joe Giacalone, Professor Randy Jokipii and Dr. Jozsef Kota. My research interests are space and astrophysical plasma physics. The projects I was/am working on including particle acceleration by collisionless shocks, the transport of energetic particles in the solar wind and interaction between shocks and MHD turbulence. I use various numerical models (TestParticle/Monte Carlo, Hybrid, MHD, and full PIC) to study various aspects of these topics.
Our group website Solar and Heliospheric Research Group

Now I am a postdoc in Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory. My studies focus on particle acceleration in space physics and astrophysics.
