Research
Research Interests:
Current research focuses on applying machine learning methods to investigate the role of solar wind turbulence in driving space weather variability at Earth, including assessment of the associated societal impacts. Previous work used machine learning approaches to study magnetic reconnection and its associated energy conversion, bridging kinetic simulations with in situ spacecraft observations.
