Research Interests

Bo Li's research interests are with the roles ofhydromagneticwaves in heating the solar corona and accelerating the solar wind. He combines multi-fluid models of the solar corona and solar wind with a forward modeling approach to infer what influences the behavior of coronal plasma species in general, and those emitting Ultraviolet lines in particular.
