    Main Research Fields

    I am fascinated by the spectacular activity occurring on the Sun, such as eruptive filaments and flares. My main research interest involves the continual development of a novel technique which utilises multi-wavelength data from many sources in order to determine hydrogen column density in cool, dense plasma, and I primarily use this to investigate the mass of eruptive filaments. In order to then learn about the associated magnetic fields of these filaments and eruptions, I perform MHD numerical experiments of plasma instabilities based on the results of my mass investigation work.
    I am also currently working on radiative transfer simulations of solar flares in order to produce a publicly available set of models, as well as using these results to investigate particular formation mechanisms behind emission spectra in flares.
