Biography

Research: Simulation, heliosphere, shock wave

Dr. Masaru Nakanotani has been working on collisionless shock waves, magnetic reconnection, turbulence modeling and particle acceleration in the heliosphere. He has a lot of experiences on simulations from large scale MHD simulations to kinetic scale simulations (hybrid and full PIC). They are quite useful to understand space plasma in which different scale physics is interchanged with each other.
