My fields of research are:
- Analysis of the dynamics of the lower and middle atmosphere from satellite occultation and balloon data.
- Biomedical effects of solar and geomagnetic activity.
In this page you will find brief information on who I am, what I have been working on and where I work. However, I do not know when and why.
