I am originally from Glasgow in Scotland but I currently live and am
based in Armagh, Northern Ireland. I studied for my BSc and MSc (Res) in
Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow where I was able to explore
many fields of astronomy before focusing on the study of solar flares as my
main research interest. One of my main reasons for pursuing a PhD is my passion
for astronomy which I have held since I was a young girl! While at Glasgow
I was a key member of their outreach programme and I have carried this on
during my PhD at Armagh and Northumbria. I have been actively involved in
a number of events both with local schools and also at the Armagh
Planetarium, encouraging younger generations to pursue careers in science. I am
also an active member of the Juno committee here at Armagh where I
hope to bring awareness and solutions to the gender balance in Physics and
Astronomy while also working towards gender equality as a whole.

Research Interests: I am a PhD student based at Armagh Observatory and Northumbria University and currently in my second year with a focus on solar and stellar flares. My main research interests include observational solar physics, in particular the the investigations of solar flares at a chromospheric level. In addition, I am also interested in stellar flares particularly on low mass stars and use my knowledge of solar flares to infer about the nature of these events. I am also interested in the magnetic field structure of flare events and active regions as well as the overall magnetic structure in low mass stars. I use data from a wide range of instruments including SST/CRISP, SDO, Hinode/EIS and Kepler/K2.
Open Days are a great way for you to get a feel of the University, the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and the course(s) you are interested in.
