EMPLOYMENTS
1999—present: PhD. student at the Department of Information Technology, Uppsala
University, in collaboration with the Department of Astronomy and Space Physics,
Uppsala University. The research areas are non-linear wave phenomena in space
plasma, including the interaction between plasma and electromagnetic waves, and the
development of numerical methods for investigating these phenomena. Date of
dissertation: Nov. 29, 2002.
