Research overview

My main research is in Mathematical Modelling of phenomena found on the Sun. The modelling involves both numerical and analytical work along with supercomputer simulations. Presently my main interest is in developing models for the evolution of the Sun global magnetic field and predicting how eruptive phenomena on the Sun may affect the earth.
