Research Interests
Global simulations of the multispecies
heliosphere/local interstellar medium system. Modeling techniques
include Boltzmann particle codes and (magneto-) hydrodynamic multifluid
codes. Modeling of different boundary conditions, also time varying.
Application of model results to heliospheric observations such as
stellar Ly-alpha absorption spectra, solar Ly-alpha
backscatter radiation, and ENA imaging of the heliosphere. Modeling of
similar astrophysical systems, and comparison to observations. Code
development to extension to three spatial dimensions, six phase space
dimension, and parallel programming techniques.
