Personal Profile

Boyi Wang, who obtained her bachelor degree at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and Ph.D. Degree at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), became an associate professor at Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) since 2021. She mainly focuses on studying the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes. She serves as reviewer for several international journals, such as Journal of Geophysical Research (JGR) and American Geophysical Union (AGU) books. She also has experiences in reviewing funding proposals for National Science Foundation (NSF) and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR).

Research Interests

The main focus is on solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes. It includes the studies on:

1. Magnetospheric/ionospheric responses to foreshock transients, magnetosheath high speed jets (HSJs) and flux transfer events (FTEs);

2. The externally driven ultra-low frequency waves in the magnetosphere and their interactions with the magnetospheric particles;

3. Dayside auroras and airglow patches.
