CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS
-
Investigations of space plasma
electrodynamics with emphasis to space electrodynamic tethered systems, electric
propulsion applications, and electron beam effects (e. g. cold-cathode field
emission cathodes, relativistic beams), in the ionosphere and high energy
electron beam effects
Plasma diagnostics (e. g. microwave/millimeter
wave interferometer, Langmuir Probes, floating potential monitors), and microwave
diagnostics of dense plasmas for space electric propulsion
Spacecraft technology..
