Open PhD Projects in the "Solar and Stellar Interiors" department
In the "Solar and Stellar Interiors" department, Laurent Gizon, Jesper Schou, Aaron Birch, Robert Cameron and others offer PhD projects in solar physics and astrophysics. Helioseismology and asteroseismology are used as important tools to study the oscillating Sun and stars.
Physics of Waves
Interaction of Sound Waves with Solar granulation (Schou)
Computational Helioseismology in the frequency domain (Gizon, Fournier)
Modeling Rossby waves in the Solar Interior (Birch, Christensen, Fournier, Gizon)
Physical origin of supergranulation waves (Wicht, Gizon)
Convection zone dynamics
Meridional flows in the solar interior (Birch, Liang, Gizon)
Dynamos driven by helioseismically determined flows (Cameron)
Stellar Interiors
More asteroseismology projects to be added in the near future.
