Dr. Mikić is a computational plasma physicist specializing in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of solar and fusion plasmas. His research interests in solar physics include large-scale MHD modeling of the solar corona, the eruption of coronal magnetic field arcades, coronal mass ejections, the three-dimensional structure of the solar corona, modeling of active-region coronal magnetic fields, coronal heating, and solar flares. He is also interested in the implementation and development of implicit algorithms, and in the inversion of sparse matrices.

Dr. Riley studies the large scale structure of the solar corona and inner heliosphere as well as the eruption and evolution of coronal mass ejections, and their interactions with the solar wind. He uses global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models to interpret coronal and heliospheric observations in an effort to understand the underlying physical processes at work.
