Profile
Ms Megan Maunder
Postgraduate
Background:
I am a third year PhD Student in the Centre for Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, Solar-Terrestrial Plasmas and Space Weather. Under the supervision of Dr Claire Foullon, I am in receipt of an STFC funded Studentship for a 'Multi-Spacecraft Investigation of Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas'.
I graduated from the University of Exeter in 2018 with an MSci Mathematics (Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics) and a College Commendation. My master's project was titled 'STEREO Investigation of High Latitude Coronal Mass Ejections'.
My research interests include solar and heliospheric plasmas and Space Weather, with a particular interest in Coronal Mass Ejections.
