 | | Lie Zhu received his B.S. degree in physics from University of Science and Technology of China in 1982, M.S. degree in space physics from University of Science and Technology of China in 1985, and Ph.D. degree in space physics from University of Alaska Fairbanks in 1990. |
 | | During his research career, Dr. Zhu has conducted theoretical studies, numerical modelings, and simulations in a broad area of space plasma physics, with the focus on magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, substorm phenomena, polar cap arcs, Alfven wave propogation, field-aligned currents and potential drops, MHD instabilities, high-latitude phenomena during northward IMF, flux transfer events, and ground magnetic perturbation. |
