Research overview

I am a UKRI STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow based in the Space and Planetary Physics Group.

I study the interactions between the solar wind, the magnetosphere and the ionosphere.

That's our most immediate magnetic environment and the most upper part of the atmosphere, which links us to space.

I am interested in the energy transport in our terrestrial plasma environment and how it responds to events within the magnetosphere itself, and in space. I do this primarily by using data from spacecraft.
