Research interests:

Dr. Tian’s major expertise is spectroscopy of solar activities. His research interests include dynamics of the solar transition region in coronal holes and above sunspots, generation and propagation of magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar atmosphere, magnetic reconnection in the lower solar atmosphere, and heating mechanisms in solar flares.
