About
Dr. X. Ma is an Assistant Research Professor at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. His research focuses on comparative magnetospheric physics with an emphasis on the numerical simulation of plasma shock, magnetic reconnection, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, and other plasma instabilities using magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), test particle, and hybrid (kinetic ion, fluid electron) simulations. Dr. Ma has studied the solar wind interaction with Earth’s magnetosphere, and the giant magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn.
