Our Space Physics group investigates fundamental science of the interaction between Earth and its near space. We also branch out towards atmospheric and climate sciences, high-energy astrophysics, and geomagnetism. We have active projects towards space weather and computational science as well. Our research activity is currently focusing on four key topics:
– Dynamics of the Asymmetric Geospace
– Energetic Particle Precipitation
– Hard Radiation from Thunderstorm
– Space Plasma Physics and Space Weather
Our group has strong synergies between space hardware development and science goals, exemplified by our key roles in a series of space missions.
