Introduction

We are a group of students, postdocs and staff scientists who work on a broad range of topics that are related to astrophysical, space and laboratory plasmas. We investigate physical processes such as turbulence, magnetic reconnection, shocks, plasma energization, and transport. We utilize tools of analytical theory, fluid simulations and kinetic simulations. Details of our research portfolio can be found from each individual links.
