I have recently joined the research lab having completed my PhD in Astrophysics. Throughout my PhD I was using both spacecraft data and numerical simulations to investigate the interaction between the Sun and the Earth’s magnetosphere, primarily focusing on the effect this had on the shape of the Aurora. I also have some industry experience in the field of data management. Within the group I will be looking to develop robust data pipelines processes for digital footprint data, as well as look for new and innovative ways of visualising data outputs to help present research findings to the general public.
