Research
The Space, Solar, and Astrophysical Plasmas group carries out research into the naturally occurring plasmas that fill the solar system and Universe beyond. We use data from a wide range of spacecraft throughout the solar system, as well as state of the art numerical simulation and cutting edge plasma theory. The group has a broad range of interests, including systems such as the Sun, solar corona, solar wind, planetary magnetospheres, the heliosphere, and fundamental processes such as turbulence, collision less shocks, plasma waves and instabilities, reconnection, and particle acceleration, as well as the applications of this physics to space weather.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Queen Mary University of London is one of the UK’s elite research centres in internationally-leading research activities.
The Department is made up of four research centres including our internationally-leading Astronomy Unit. The Astronomy Unit at Queen Mary is one of the largest astronomy and astrophysics research groups in the UK and our research programme encompasses a broad range of astrophysical phenomena across the universe, which we study with observational, theoretical, and simulation approaches.
