Professional Experience

I joined Clemson University as an Assistant Professor in 2025. I had been working as Project Scientist at NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research/High Altitude Observatory from 2022 to 2025, and as a postdoctoral researcher there from 2019 to 2022. I obtained my PhD degree from Virginia Tech. My PhD dissertation title was “Solar Wind-Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling: Multiscale Study with Computational Models”.

I have been serving as a Working Group Lead at the NASA CGS Modeling Group, and as a committee member on the NASA Living With a Star (LWS) Program Analysis Group since 2024, and a co-lead of the NSF Geospace Environment Modeling Focus Group of Magnetospheric Sources of Particle Precipitation and Their Role on Electrodynamic Coupling of Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere Systems (MPEC) since 2022.
