Solar radio astronomy: physics of solar radio spectral fine structures, solar small-scale bursts and the related turbulence, precursors of solar flares, particle accelerations

Plasma astrophysicsSolar and stellar coronal heating mechanism, triggering mechanism of astro-plasma instabilities and energy release processes, physics of multi-timescale solar cycles 

I demonstrated a series of solar microwave QPP, zebra patterns, revised type IIIs, and small-scale microwave bursts, and proposed theoretical models of tearing-mode oscillation in current-carrying flaring loops to explain these observations.

I also investigated the solar cycles with multi-timescale, including the 11-year, 51.5 year, and 103 year, and proposed that these periodicities dominated the forthcoming solar cycles.

I proposed a theoretical model of magnetic-gradient pumping (MGP) to explain the coronal heating and the formation of solar jets.
