Coming from the sunny shores of Tenerife to the changing seasons of Norway, doctoral research fellow Oscar Soler is embarking on a new adventure—exploring the physics of our closest star at the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS).
The Sun’s invisible magnetic fields shape everything from solar flares to space weather at Earth. At RoCS, postdoctoral fellow Harsh Mathur is developing new tools to read these fields from the light we observe.
The SST’s exceptional spatial and temporal resolution is a key reason she chose to work at RoCS. Meet Pooja Devi, postdoctoral researcher.
With a diverse academic background across several countries, Yixiao Zhou primarily focuses on computational stellar physics.
With a rich academic background from esteemed institutions, Valeriia Liakh's work is driven by her passion for computational plasma astrophysics.
Meet Aline Rangøy Brunvoll: A doctoral research fellow at RoCS taking on solar mysteries.
Semya Amouche Tønnessen joined RoCS with a strong foundation in computational science and practical experience in solar research.
His exposure to RoCS came through various courses, summer projects and supervision, creating a foundation that sparked his interest when RoCS announced openings for PhD positions.
He wants to advance his understanding of the workings of the energetic Sun. Meet Sascha Ornig from Austria, RoCS newest team member.
Meet Fan Zhang, our new RoCS Postdoctoral Fellow, who is striving to improve the modeling of the solar atmosphere.
The frenchman Quentin Noraz has come to Oslo to work on the WholeSun ERC project; an European collaboration to better understand the functioning of the Sun.
- My name is Carlos José Díaz Baso, hailing from the beautiful island of Tenerife, Spain. Meet RoCS' new postdoctoral researcher.
Expectations and surprises, it all belongs to a new Doctoral Research Fellow's life at RoCS. Meet Ignasi Poquet from València, Spain.
- I started my PhD in august 2022, but I feel like I have been a part of RoCS since I started my master project in 2021, says Elias Roland Udnæs.
- There is a major expertise within the field that I am currently working on and everyone is more than happy to answer my academic questions. Jonas Thoen Faber enjoys being part of the RoCS team.
He did his research at CERN, Geneva, within beam and accelerator physics. Now Sondre Vik Furuseth, Postdoctoral fellow at RoCS, will use his knowledge to attempt simulating the whole Sun.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
