Professor Stanislav Boldyrev is a theorist working in the fields of plasma physics, space physics, and astrophysics.He studies magnetohydrodynamic and kinetic plasma turbulence, plasma waves and instabilities and their role in the solar wind, interstellar medium, accretion discs, and other systems. His current projects include the role of magnetic reconnection in turbulence, the structure of space plasma turbulence at very small,sub-proton-gyroradius scales, magnetic turbulence and magnetic dynamo action in accretion discs,the role of wave-particle interaction in forming the non-Maxwellian tails in the solar-wind electron distribution function.
