Dr Martin Uman has been studying lightning for 40 years and is considered one of the world's leading experts. Check on the University of Florida's web site and you will also find the name of Dr. Vladimir Radkov also an internationally know expert of lightning. You may also wish to check out the 41 members of the NFPA's technical committee on lightning who produce the national standard on lightning, NFPA-780, Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems, 2014 edition. In particular see Annex B, Principles of Lightning Protection that is a good resource to learn about lightning and how it can be controlled.
