Numerical Study of Coronal Mass Ejections, Shocks, and Turbulence: from Chromosphere to 1 AU.
(2014)
My dissertation focuses on one of the major source of destructive space weather: coronal mass ejections (CMEs). By helping develop and utilizing a new data-driven global MHD model: The Alfven Wave Solar Model (AWSoM) in ...
Strong Shock Waves in Highly Porous Materials
(2019)
Strong shock waves traversing through porous materials occur in a broad range of applications. Foamed plastics are a popular material in many high-energy-density physics (HEDP) experiment due to the low, tunable density, ...
Local to Global Multi-Scale Multimedia Modeling of Chemical Fate and Population Exposure
(2017)
To assess environmental and human exposure to chemical emissions, two types of approaches are available: 1. intermediate- to high-resolution, substance/location-specific analyses, and 2. lower resolution, less specific ...
Characterizing Heliospheric and Interstellar Interactions Using Pickup Ion Measurements
(2022)
The Heliosphere, orbiting the galactic center of the Milky Way, is a plasma bubble carved out of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) by the Sun's dynamic and magnetic influence. Its relative motion creates a steady inflow ...
Dynamics of the Jovian Magnetosphere: Combining Insights from Global MHD Simulations and In Situ Measurements From the Juno Spacecraft
(2021)
Unlike the terrestrial magnetosphere, which responds strongly to changes in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field, Jupiter's magnetosphere depends largely on internal processes related to its strong planetary ...
GNSS-R Remote Sensing of the Ocean: Surface Waves and Related Phenomena
(2016)
In this thesis, we explore several fundamental issues in GNSS-R remote sensing. Global Navigation Satellite System - Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a relatively young remote sensing technique proposed to measure geophysical ...
