Congratulations to Dr Anne-Marie Broomhall and Dr Ravi Desai for winning STFC funding in the latest grant period. Anne-Marie has secured continuation of her work using helioseismology to understand the Sun's magnetic activity through an STFC 3-year small award with postdoctoral support. Ravi is part of a UK consortium studying the Van Allen radiation belts who have won a 5-year STFC large award, with postdoctoral support and collaboration with the Warwick's RSE team.

This success comes on the heels of a 5-year STFC large award won last year by Prof Tony Arber, Dr Erwin Verwichte, Dr Keith Bennett and Warwick’s RSE team, as part of a UK consortium developing the next generation solar modelling code, SAMS. Tony and Erwin will be supported by two postdoctoral fellows in the coming years.

Warmest congratulations to Sihui Zhong, who has been awarded the RAS Keith Runcorn Thesis Prize 2024 for her PhD thesis titled “Decayless Kink Oscillations of Solar Coronal Loops”, completed under the supervision of Professor Valery Nakariakov.

Very well done!
