WaLSA Team | Shahin Jafarzadeh

I am currently a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Göttingen, Germany, a visiting researcher at the Niels Bohr International Academy (NBIA) in Copenhagen, Denmark, and an affiliated researcher at the Rosseland Centre for Solar Physics (RoCS), Norway. My work delves into the dynamics of the Sun's lower atmosphere, with a particular emphasis on how magnetic fields and wave activity contribute to the solar atmosphere’s heating. Integral to my research is the application of ‘big data’ techniques, blending astrophysics with data science to deepen our understanding of solar phenomena and their impacts on Earth (i.e., space weather). I am co-founder of the WaLSA team and actively contribute to several international committees. Moreover, I have a wealth of experience in solar (and stellar) observations, have a proven track record in supervising MSc and PhD students, and am deeply committed to passionately engaging in public outreach activities.
