Dongshuai Li is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Atmospheric Electricity research group at Technical University of Denmark (DTU Space). In her research, she focuses on unraveling the mysteries of lightning and its many manifestations, including conventional lightning in clouds and to the ground, and upper atmospheric lightning such as blue jets and red sprites. She has developed models and methods to better understand, for instance, how lightning initiates inside thunderstorms, how it propagates within the clouds and how it attaches to natural and human-made structures. Her current interests are to understand the plasma physics of lightning on microsecond time scales, addressing the scientific and technical challenges in determining the role of streamers and leaders at the heart of lightning physics.
