 Research Interests:
Numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)
  • CME initiation, working on a new model developed by I. Roussev, which can be described as a modification of the breakout model of S. Antiochos et al. to adapt it to more realistic magnetic topologies,
  • Propagation of CMEs in the inner heliosphere (up to Earth's orbit),
  • Interaction of CMEs in the inner heliosphere,
  • Synthetic white-light (SOHO/LASCO, STEREO) 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' formation in the corona, and their properties (Mach number, compression ratio, angle)).
