• Discovery of high beta steady-state scenario of negative triangularity tokamak, 2023.
• Asymptotic vacuum solution at X-point tip (Featured article of Phys. Plasmas), 2023.
• Modification of Lie’s transform perturbation theory, 2023.
• Perpendicular magnetofluid theory for magnetically confined plasmas (Editor’s Pick of
Phys. Plasmas), 2020.
• Interpretation of edge harmonic oscillations, 2013.
• Discovery of free boundary ballooning mode representation, 2012.
• Interpretation of edge localized modes, PRL, 2008.
• Modification of the linear gyrokinetic theory, 2007.
• Shear AlfvÅLen resonance stabilization of RWMs, PRL, 2005.
