Research Interests :

• Evidence of chromospheric evaporation revealed by RHESSI:
  astro-ph/0603510, PDF, (ApJ, 649, No. 1, Sept 20, 2006, in press).

• 2003 Oct - Nov X-class flares:
  E-print: RHESSI Observations of a Simple Large X-ray Flare on 11-03-2003 ( ADS, PDF)
  (ApJ, 611, L53-L56, August 10, 2004)

• Particle accelerations in solar flares - RHESSI data analysis and modeling.
  See my 2003 AAS/SPD Poster ( HTML, PDF) on a statistical study of hard X-ray imaging spectroscopy of limb flare loop top and foot point sources, in an effort to put constraints on our particle acceleratoin models.

• Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) modeling.
  (1) A numerical MHD study on the relationship between magnetic topologies and two-class CMEs:
  (ADS, astro-ph/0511023)
  (2) A cone model for CME velocity determination:
  Zhao, Plunkett, & Liu, 2002 (JGR, 107, 1223); 2001 COSPAR poster (PDF)

• Data analysis of SOHO/MDI magnetograms
