My research interest is on the Earth's magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling system, particulary the inner magnetosphere dynamics and its cross-regional coupling with the ionosphere and magnetotail. I have authored over 80 publications. I have been actively involved in both national and international societies, such as being co-chair of the SCOSTEP COURSE program, Focus Group leading chair of t...details>
