About

Professor Vladimir Rakov is a faculty member at the University of Florida, USA. His research primarily focuses on the dynamics of lightning phenomena, including investigation of lightning leaders and their interactions, electric field generation from discharges, and observations of optical characteristics of lightning. Recent articles have explored various aspects of cloud-to-ground lightning, including the formation of needles during lightning strikes and the behavior of lightning channels.
