Some information concerning my own research

A summary of my research interests.

My PhD students.

Here is a publication list.

I have also been coordinator of the European Research Training Network PLATON from August 2000 and to July 2004. PLATON stands for Plasma Astrophysics: Theory, Observations and Numerics of Heating, Flares and Winds.


Teaching

In 2009/2010 I am teaching MT2001 Mathematics (Semester 1) and MT4508 Dynamical Systems (Semester 2).

A complete list of courses I have taught, including lecture notes of a postgraduate course on The Theory of MHD Equilibria.


Links to the Institute(s) where I work (or have worked in the past)

The place were I wrote my Diplom thesis: Astronomisches Institut of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Bochum, Germany.

I then wrote a PhD thesis here (and had my first Postdoc position afterwards): Institut für Theoretische Physik IV of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Bochum, Germany.

I held an ESA Research Fellowship at the Solar System Division of the Space Science Department of ESA, ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands in the SOHO group.

I am now working in the Solar Theory Group of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews, Scotland, as a Reader in Applied Mathematics.
