Position: PhD Student (STFC)
PhD Supervisor:
Project Topic: Magnetohydrodynamic waves and oscillations in the solar corona
Research Area:
Observational research into waves in the solar corona. In particular, investigating the nature of prominence oscillations and EUV global waves, also the use of the Hilbert-Huang transform as a method of analysing coronal oscillations such as quasi-periodic pulsations in solar flares.

Teaching:
I teach examples classes for first year undergraduates during terms 1 & 2, and demonstrate in the first year during term 3.
