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.
