Areas of Interest:

The upper atmospheres and ionospheres of terrestrial planets, with special focusing on the distribution of ionospheric components of Martian ionosphere vary with the solar radiation and solar wind particle condition.

Research Overview:

Dr. Wu works on Martian ionosphere and upper atmosphere. Mars has always been the frontier research issue, which from the warm and wet early state to the cold and arid current state. The ionized component of the Martian atmosphere, which is called the ionosphere, is a crucial region of the Martian space environment in both neutrals and ions Atmospheric escape is a fundamental process including physical and chemical processes that has influenced the evolution of Martian climate. The Sun's interaction with Mars through electromagnetic radiation and energetic charged particle emission is the primary source for the energetics and dynamics of Martian environments. Dr. Wu analyzes the variation of the Martian ionosphere under different solar radiation conditions to construct a more comprehensive image of the Martian ionosphere. The results of this study will help us understand the various physical and chemical processes in the Martian ionosphere and exploring the process of climate evolution.
