Description of Research |
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| An extensive experience and flexibility in development, build, and test of cutting-edge instruments for space and ground-based projects, including design of world-largest solar telescope with adaptive optics, electronics, mechanical, and optical modules for Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV), visible light, and infrared spectral bands. Self-motivated, team-worked, and detail-oriented professional in creating hardware and software for a wide range of scientific and technical applications. Major directions in scientific research are solar physics, helioseismology, solar internal structure and internal differential rotation, EUV spectral variability, EUV dimming, solar energetic particles. | |
