Dr Mike Marsh, who recently graduated with a PhD in Solar Physics from UCLan, is taking up a research fellowship at NASA‘s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Maryland. This facility operates many of NASA‘s satellites, including solar observatories SOHO and TRACE. Mike will be working with Drs Jack Ireland and Therese Kucera, working on MHD wave
seismology of the solar atmosphere.
Dr Marsh was supervised in his PhD by Dr Robert Walsh, and has been working as Robert’s PDRA since September 2005. His move to GSFC builds on an existing collaboration between Jack and Robert, which includes their PhD students and PDRAs.
