As PI, I’m currently leading the project MultiSCORE: Multi-scale structure of the coronal environment funded by the Research Council of Norway through the Researcher Project for Early Career Scientists.

My research focuses on the solar corona by combining multi-instrument observations with numerical simulations to investigate thermal instability and coronal rain formation, coronal oscillations and the fine-scale structure of the corona.

I also have practical experience in operational space weather modelling and forecasting, including solar wind persistence forecasts and operational models of the heliosphere and CME propagation, gained while working in the Space Weather group at the UK Met Office.

2014-2018 PhD, Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics, University of Warwick
