Welcome!

I am an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. My research interests are Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere coupling. I build advanced numerical models and ML models and conduct data analysis to understand the physical processes in the geospace.

I am seeking talented, creative, highly motivated students to join the group. Please get in touch with me if you are interested.
