Current research at VLF Group
Postdoc (#2) at the University of Hawaii

In 2002-2004, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the
Physics
and Astronomy Department of the
University of Hawaii
at Manoa.
Postdoc (#1) at Stanford HEP group

In 2000-2001, I was a postdoctoral student at the
Neutrino Physics Group
at the
Physics Department of
Stanford University.
Ph. D. research at VLF group

Until March 2000 I was a graduate student at the
Physics Department of
Stanford University. I worked in the
VLF Group at the
Electrical Engineering
Department, where I studied energetic electrodynamic phenomena associated with thunderstorms.
My advisor was
Umran S. Inan,
the director of
STAR Laboratory of the
Electrical Engineering Department.
Here are
LaTeX sources of some of them.
-
Maximum entropy method. Slides of a
talk that I gave for an Astrophysics Seminar class.
-
Introduction to molecular
spectra. Tutorial talk at VLF group colloquium.
-
Conversion between systems of units
- a self-cooked reference.
-
Plasma kinetics tutorial. This is a
set of two lectures given by me for Prof. Umran S. Inan's Plasma
Physics course, containing Fokker-Planck equation and spherical
expansion of kinetic equation. The old version is here.
