Welcome to Xinhu Feng
1 October 2023: The Space Physics research group is happy to welcome Mr. Xinhu Feng who is joining the Solar Tsunamis project as a new PhD student. Xinhu is going to be supervised by Prof. Craig Rodger, working on reactive power during space weather events. Welcome to Xinhu, both to our research group, and to Dunedin! While Mr Feng has joined us from China, his previously qualification was from the University of Edinburgh, in Dunedin’s sister city.
Solar Tsunamis team welcomes Lisa!
17 October 2023: Dr Lisa Evans has now taken up the position of Solar Tsunami’s Programme Project Manager. She has a background in Physics and Astronomy, and a PhD from Murdoch University in which she undertook “serious games” design around climate change. Lisa has worked in the “citizen science” field for the Perth-based International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research and the Australian Citizen Science Association. Our previous project manager, Devlin Lynden, left mid-year to take up a new role with the New Zealand MetService. We are excited to welcome Lisa, and looking forward to the help she will provide to continuing making the Solar Tsunamis research a success!
