Previously, he was a research professor at the University of Michigan Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, where he led the development of a new generation of high-performance, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics codes to perform simulations of the space environment from the solar surface to the Earth's upper atmosphere. His research interests include experimental and theoretical investigations of the electrodynamic coupling between the solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere using global arrays of ground-based and satellite-based instruments, utilization of computer networks to form knowledge networks in the support of scientific and educational activities, and experimental and theoretical investigations of the geomagnetic storm time ring current.
