General PhD studentship may available at the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering and School
of Mathematics and Statistics (The University of Sheffield), in the following areas:
- General MHD wave theory with solar and astrophysical applications
- Numerical modelling (HPC and GPU computing) of wave processes in the solar atmosphere
- MHD wave observations and Solar Magneto-Seismology
- Heating of the solar atmosphere: waves, reconnection, etc.
- Novel joint ground-based and satellite observations of the Sun and Sun-Earth system
- Analysis of ionospheric perturbations: application to climate prediction and natural hazard risk assessment
- Energy transfer mechanisms in the Sun-Earth system
Successful candidates will receive knowledge in analytical/numerical modelling and analysing
high-resolution observations obtained by cutting-edge ground-based instruments and space satellites. The studentship may be
supplemented by income from assistance in undergraduate tutorials.
