Mariangela Viviani, defended her dissertation "Global magneto-convection models of stars with varying rotation rate" on Friday 24 January 2020 in the Georg August University, Göttingen, Germany.

The solar magnetic field is mostly axisymmetric at the largest scale. Latitudinal dynamo waves propagate from mid-latitudes towards the equator, as can be seen,  for example, from sunspot observations. Reproducing this pattern is one of the main demands that a numerical model of the solar dynamo has to satisfy. One of the most common theories to explain the solar cycle is the ....
