The focus of the Space Physics Research Group is mainly on the plasma phenomena in the terrestrial environments, including the following topics:

• Solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling
• Magnetospheric modeling
• Upper atmosphere (ionosphere/thermosphere) modeling  
• Data analysis of both ground-base and satellite observations
• Space weather application
• Physics education with applications to space physics and geo science
  with a focus on visual cognition.
