About

Shotaro Sakai is an Assistant Professor at Tohoku University in Japan. His research primarily focuses on planetary atmospheres and magnetospheres, with recent contributions to understanding Martian phenomena through articles on the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission and the plasma dynamics of Mars. He also explores topics related to exospheric densities and the implications of magnetic fields on planetary ion escape.
