Juha Vierinen


Job description

 

I am an experimentalist that works across a range of themes within space physics. I specialize in development of novel radar and radio remote sensing measurement techniques, and apply them to scientific studies in the field of space plasma physics, atmospheric physics, space debris, and planetary science. Much of this work is conducted with high power large aperture radars, ionospheric heating facilities, ionosonde networks, meteor radar networks, radio telescopes, and global navigation satellite networks.
