- RoCS’s ties to St Andrews solar group was a bonus, says Georg Cherry who did her master's there. Now she is a Doctoral Research Fellow at RoCS.

- My name is Nicolas Poirier and I come from the scenic "châteaux of the Loire Valley" in France. Meet the new Postdoctoral Fellow at RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics.

"It is very exciting to be part of a highly collaborative research frontier where observational, theoretical and computational branches work together to advance our understanding of the Universe" - Herman Sletmoen.

- I am Reetika Joshi, an Indian girl coming from a small town in the foothills of Himalaya. Meet RoCS newest Postdoctoral Fellow.

Eilif Sommer Øyre is new to RoCS. The Doctoral Research Fellow chose solar physics to learn more about physics, computer science, and what it means to be a researcher in astrophysics.

Mats-Ola Sand's decision to stay on after his astronomy studies as a Doctoral Research Fellow at ITA and RoCS comes down to two factors: exciting opportunities and a friendly environment. 

"What motivates me in research is the hope that I can figure out something brand new in physics" - PhD student Johannes Røsok Eskilt.

This autumn three young Ph.D.candidates started their work journey at RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics. Michael Haahr from Denmark is one of them.

- The Whole Sun Project, provides a unique opportunity for me to work and collaborate with experts from other European institutions, says the latest newcomer to RoCS. His name is Avijeet Prasad and he is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow.

- Three years ago, I decided to become a software developer, says Wojciech Olejarz. And this spring he started working for RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics.

Marianne Omang has been affiliated with RoCS as an adjunct professor since she finished her PhD in 2005. 

In the middle of the pandemic, Ana Belén Griñón Marín, moved from Stanford University to RoCS, UiO. She joined the team for her second postdoctoral position.

- It did not take me a long time to accept the invitation to work with RoCS.  I’ve always thought that the group was no less than world-leading in its field, says Guillaume Aulanier who newly joined the Centre of Excellence at UiO.

 Aditi Bhatnagar found the move from India to RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics to be swift. She has started her way to her Doctorate Degree. 

Her name is Maria Guadalupe Barrios Sazo, but she goes by Lupe. She has come all the way from Guatemala to work as a Research Software Engineer at RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics.

- My work will be focused on the long-standing puzzle of energy transport throughout the solar atmosphere, explains Kilian Krikova.

Maryam Saberi from Iran started working at RoCS two months before the Covid-19 close-down of Norway. 

- This position places me in the best research environment, says Nancy Narang who has worked as a postdoctoral fellow for RoCS since last winter.

Chandrashekhar Kalogodu from India chose RoCS - Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics, University of Oslo, to be part of one of the leading groups in solar research.

Following up his Master thesis project this summer, Daniel Jakobsson is back at RoCS working at the SolarAlma project. His work stay is made possible by the Rosseland Visitor Program.

A month before the national lockdown in March, Atul Mohan started working at the EMISSA project at RoCS, UiO, as a Postdoctoral Fellow.

Originally from Stavanger, laureate in Bergen, Thore Espedal Moe is the new PhD student at the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physic, UiO. 

"I hope my contributions will help increase our understanding of the relationship between the Solar magnetic field and atmospheric heating" - Rebecca Robinson.

"I was at an early age determined to learn more within astronomy" - Øystein Håvard Færder.

"Stars are the driving force to the life as we know it, so to understand the origins of life, understanding stars is crucial." - Sneha Pandit
