Overview of Research Interests:
Numerous
natural processes drive geophysical electric and magnetic fields. In my
research, I use these fields to further our understanding of Earth's
atmosphere
and space environment. My previous and current work has focused on a
diverse
group of natural electric and magnetic field sources, including
lightning,
middle atmospheric discharges, solar-terrestrial effects in the
ionosphere
and magnetosphere, and sources within the Earth's crust. I have
experience
in both experimental techniques and theoretical modeling. This includes
building and testing instrumentation and acquisition systems, analyzing
data, and developing numerical models. My immediate future work plans
include
projects related to in situ measurements inside and above
thunderstorms,
ground-based sensing of middle atmospheric discharges that affect the
ionosphere,
investigating the geomagnetic perturbations from dc to low frequency
radio
bands, and evaluating lightning in tropical cyclones globally.
