Has extensive experience in theoretical space plasma physics. Specific research areas include: kinetic theory of superthermal electrons in the ionosphere and plasmasphere; hydrodynamic and kinetic theory of space plasma in the presence of wave activity; theoretical investigation and numerical modeling of ionosphere-plasmasphere interactions; numerical modeling of minor neutral components of the upper atmosphere; theoretical study of artificial injection of charged and neutral particles into the ionosphere; waves and beam-induced plasma instabilities in the ionosphere.

Has been active in developing numerical methods for solving particle transport problems with emphasis on the development of numerical methods for solving the Boltzmann transport equation for the superthermal electrons and the generalized transport equations, modeling of high speed plasma flows in ionosphere, plasmasphere and magnetosphere.

He is author or co-author of 5 books and about 200 scientific publications. He supervised and directed more than 30 M.Sc. and 15 Ph.D. graduates.
