Welcome to the WWW pages of the Robert Walsh. I am a member of the Solar Physics Group, one of the research groups in the Centre for Astrophysics in the Department of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics at the University of Central Lancashire.

My research centres on modelling and observing the Sun's outer atmosphere or corona.

I study of the Sun through
  • space-based observations (SOHO and TRACE)
  • magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modelling of the solar atmosphere
