The WaLSA Team currently consists of 32 members, spanning 23 research institutes from 12 countries, with diverse expertise in the field of wave activity in the lower solar atmosphere.
Diverse expertise
Aligned objectives
Balanced disciplines
Complementary experience
The 12 core members, from 8 countries, are listed below (in alphabetical order). The team members hold a wealth of experience in the handling, preparation, and exploitation of high-resolution data sequences from modern ground-based and space/balloon-borne solar observatories, as well as in theory and simulations, spectro-polarimetric signatures, and radiative transfer processes. See the team's Scientific Rationale for greater detail.
Scientist at Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Germany, and affiliated researcher at RoCS (Norway). His studies concern how the magnetic fields structure dynamics of the Sun's atmosphere, particularly from wave activity.
Associate members are equally involved in the research conducted by the WaLSA Team. The associate members listed below (in alphabetical order) are the first of many envisaged. New associates are expected to join the team in the near future.
Affiliate members are scientists or graduate students with an interest in the WaLSA-related activities. The affiliate members may contribute to the research lead by the core and associate members, or collaborate with the WaLSA Team on their own science projects.
