Personal profile

Research interests and extension

My research interests focus on computational physics applied to the study of plasmas, with particular emphasis on fusion plasmas and ionospheric plasmas. I am interested in the development and application of numerical models and simulations to understand complex phenomena such as transport processes, instabilities, and turbulence in plasma systems.

Additionally, I work on the analysis of ionospheric and atmospheric scintillation, investigating its impact on communication and navigation systems. I also maintain a strong interest in theoretical physics, particularly in the formulation and study of models describing non-equilibrium systems and nonlinear phenomena.

My approach integrates advanced computational tools, theoretical frameworks, and data analysis to address both fundamental and applied problems in plasma physics and geospace science.
