Mykola Ivchenko
Space Plasma Physics
Mykola Ivchenko's research focuses on space plasma physics, with an emphasis on experimental investigations of plasma phenomena in the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere. His work involves developing and utilizing advanced instruments for space probes, satellites and sounding rockets, to study the electrodynamics of space plasmas.
He has been involved in projects such as the Swedish MATS satellite, investigating waves in the upper atmosphere. KTH has contributed with the electronics for MATS imagers, sounding rocket projects to study the electrodynamics of the ionosphere. He leads KTH contributions to ESA missions, e.g. the JUICE probe to explore the Jupiter moon system, and Plasma Observatory mission candidate for M7 ESA Science mission.
Beside his research, he teaches courses including Plasma Physics, Space Environment and Spacecraft Engineering, and Data Handling Systems for Satellites.
