Plasma astrophysics, physics of compact objects, ionospheric physics

The main results:
nonlinear waves in the space plasma, kinetic phenomena in nonequilibrium media, theory of radio pulsar magnetospere and the theory of pulsar radio emission (with V.Beskin and A.Gurevich), jet stability in Active Galactic Nuclei.

The current interests include the nature of gamma-bursts sources, magnetars, accretion disks, fine structure of the cosmic jets luminosity, electromagnetic radiation in the ionosphere by the action of powerful electromagnetic waves.
