He has also taught electricity and magnetism and done research on plasma physics for over 27 years, concentrating on waves, radiation, and other electrical interactions in it. He has written and published papers on bremstrahlung in plasmas, Cerenkov radiation in plasmas, and auroral kilometric radiation that is generated naturally out in space.
Expert has worked with electrical science, particularly in regard to the physics and basic engineering principles of it. He studied electricity and magnetism while completing his Ph.D. and taught courses as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee. He has also done research in plasma physics, with a concentration on waves, radiation, and other electrical interactions in it.
Expert is quite skilled in plasma physics and basic engineering applications of it. Over the course of his education, teaching, and research, he has studied plasma physics and applied physics. His research has been primarily in plasma physics for over 27 years, concentrating on waves, radiation, and other wave and particle interactions in it. He has written and published 70 papers and two books on plasmas.
He is experienced with both mechanics and electrical science, including engineering applications of it. He has also lectured on car accidents and braking to a number of audiences, as well as dynamic processes near the Earth.
Expert has worked as a Research Scientist focusing on outer space for over 20 years, first on contract at the Naval Research Labs and then at the Employer. His research has been primarily in plasma physics in outer space environments. He has taught courses on Space Science at the Employer, and has lectured to public groups.
