Research Interests:
Numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs).
Space Weather Prediction.

Propagation of CMEs in the inner heliosphere, and their observations by SECCHI,
Interaction of multiple CMEs in the inner heliosphere, and the consequence for space weather prediction,
CME initiation, working on a new model developed by I. Roussev and studying its consequences for CME propagation,
Synthetic white-light (SOHO/LASCO, STEREO/SECCHI) images of CMEs,
Formation of multiple-magnetic cloud events and complex ejecta and study of the associated magnetic field vector at Earth,
Propagation of shocks through magnetic clouds and merging of shocks.

Numerical models of solar wind and the coronal magnetic field.

Acceleration and transport of Solar Energetic Particles (mostly by studying shocks and their properties in the corona).
