Biography

Sasha Koustov is a Professor and Graduate Chair at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Arts and Science, specializing in atmospheric and space physics. His research focuses on the formation of small-scale irregularities in the auroral ionosphere through both theoretical and experimental approaches. He has expertise in using auroral coherent radars for convection monitoring and studying the interaction between the magnetosphere and ionosphere. Additionally, Koustov investigates high-latitude phenomena, plasma circulation, and the effects of ionospheric conductance on particle precipitation and plasma convection. His work contributes significantly to our understanding of ionospheric and magnetospheric physics, and he is actively involved in advancing radar capabilities to explore these complex systems.
