Research Interests
My research interests are mainly in the area of solar physics and solar-terrestrial relation physics. Currently, I’m concentrating on multi-wavelength observational studies of small-scale dynamic events in the solar atmosphere relating to the coronal heating and the source region of the solar wind, and the development of coronagraph technology.
