Principal investigator on several research grants sponsored by Office of Naval Research (ONR), NSF Division of Polar Programs, NSF Division of Atmospheric Sciences, NASA Space Physics Division, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory. Current research projects include: (i) optical observations of high altitude plasma discharges and optical emissions known as sprites and elves, (ii) ground based VLF remote sensing of lightning-induced disturbances in ionospheric plasma and precipitation of energetic electrons at multiple sites across the United States, Canada and Antarctic, (iii) studies of HF radio wave heating of ionospheric plasma, (iv) interpretation of plasma wave and energetic particle data from low and high altitude satellites, (v) theoretical modeling of gyroresonant wave-particle interactions in the magnetosplasma, (vi) ELF/VLF observations of plasma waves at unmanned observatories in Antarctica and on ocean-based autonmous buoys, and (vii) investigations and computer simulation of energy efficieny of plasma display panels.
