CL started to be engaged in solar physics research from 2003. CL's current research interest lies in multiwavelength study of flare/CME. Specific topics include, but not limited to microflares, magnetic field changes in the flare/CME core region, magnetic reconnection models, and large-scale activities associated with flare/CME.
Any comments or suggestions are highly appreciated.
