Professor Balikhin joined the Space Systems Laboratory (prior to 2011 Space Systems Group) in 1995. His main scientific interests since his PhD in 1989 are the physics of collisionless shocks, plasma turbulence and nonlinear systems. His later acquired research topics include dynamics of radiation belts and waves in the inner magnetosphere. The first spacecraft project that he has been involved with was the VEGA mission to Comet Halley. Presently Professor Balikhin is the PI of DWP instruments onboard of four ESA Cluster satellites and is an editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research Space Physics , published by American Geophysical Union.
