Keziah Shaji

Research Interests:

She currently focuses on modelling and analysing magnetic field structures in solar wind plasma, with an interest in magnetic topology, plasma dynamics, and energy transfer in space plasmas. Building on her background in plasma diagnostics and heliospheric physics, her broader interests lie in understanding fluid and plasma dynamics across different scales and under extreme conditions. She is particularly interested in using computational and stochastic methods, including statistical and Bayesian approaches, to connect theoretical models with observational data and quantify uncertainty in complex plasma systems. She is also gaining hands-on experience with EPOCH, a particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code, to explore kinetic plasma processes through computational simulations.
