Welcome to the Experimental Space Physics Group at UCLA EPSS!

Our current research focuses on electromagnetic phenomena in the near-Earth environment with regard to plasma and particle physics. Specifically, we investigate how particles are accelerated in Earth's magnetosphere and radiation belts, how the upper atmosphere and ionosphere respond to space currents, how and why plasma waves and giant pulsations form, and how the lunar environment interacts with the solar wind.
