Research interests:
Development of numerical algorithms of method of 3-D plasma density inversion from the Dynasonde 21 data (NeXtYZ, "next wise”). Several methods for plasma irregularity diagnostics: a diagnostic method for spatial spectrum of natural ionospheric small-scale irregularities using the anomalous attenuation of a vertical sounding signal; a method for global monitoring of the ionospheric irregularity when sounding from a satellite. Development of automatic processing methods of satellite ionograms real-time. Development of methods for the study of the upper ionosphere through integrated satellite experiments and TEC datas.
