Research interest: Theoretical and experimental
investigations of space and laboratory dusty
plasmas. Electrodynamic processes and their role in
the origin and evolution of the solar system, comets,
planetary rings, plasma surface interactions. Dust charging,
in situ and remote observations of dust. Dusty plasma
laboratory experiments and space hardware development.
