Francesca Di Mare

Academic Interests
Theoretical plasma physics and its application to space plasmas and astrophysical systems.
Main Research Fields
Plasma turbulence is my primary research interest with emphasis on determine the spatial scales of turbulent structures, the 3D nature of turbulence in F-region ionosphere and the drivers of turbulence in the auroral cusp.
My broader research investigation involves the coordinated use of analytical theory, statistical analysis and spacecraft/sounding rockets observations.
