倪蕾研究员主要从事太阳低层大气小尺度磁活动和非完全电离环境下磁重联机制的研究。主要成果包括：（1）开创性地揭示了非完全电离环境下磁重联的精细物理过程和磁能快速释放的物理机制，为理解太阳活动本质提供了新的理论基础；（2）首次通过数值模拟证实在强磁场环境下的磁重联可将低温色球加热至数万度，这一突破性发现为解释太阳低层大气局部加热机制提供了关键理论依据；（3）提出可解释低层大气多波段增亮现象的统一理论模型，为推动太阳多波段、高分辨率观测研究提供了坚实的理论基础；（4）模拟研究了磁重联电流片及伴随的出流、入流区准周期性发生反转的物理现象，提出太阳表面附近的对流和湍流运动引起电流片所受外力的准周期性变化是驱动振荡磁重联产生的一种新机制；（5）观测和模拟结合，研究了开放磁力线环境下冕洞区针状体的形成及引起的日冕响应，发现沿着针状体向上运动的等离子体流持续在低日冕激发局地慢模波和慢模激波，能为加热日冕提供了可观的能流和质量流，研究结果为解决太阳冕洞区的日冕加热问题提供了一种新的思路。这些研究成果发表于The Astrophysical Journal Letter，A&A等国际核心期刊，得到国内外同行的广泛关注和高度认可。截至目前，共38篇论文和专著被ApJL，A&A等国际核心期刊发表和接收，曾入选英国物理学会(IOP)中国区高引论文，被国际权威期刊及经典教科书引用1000多篇次。曾获云南省科学技术奖励-自然科学类-特等奖（排名第二）。 近年，16次被国际会议邀请做特邀报告，长期被邀请为Science, ApJ, A&A等期刊审稿，多次担任国际会议科学组委会成员。
