Does magnetic field matter during the earliest stages of star cluster formation?
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
Stars light up every single galaxy across the Universe, allowing us to study their structure across the cosmos. Despite their importance, there are still many aspects of the star formation process that remain poorly constrained. Read more
[STFC Studentship] Magnetic fields and the earliest stages of star cluster formation
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
Stars light up every single galaxy across the Universe, allowing us to study their structure across the cosmos. Despite their importance, there are still many aspects of the star formation process that remain poorly constrained. . Read more
The Long-Term Survival of Earth's Magnetic Field
Background. Earth’s core has generated a magnetic field for billions of years. However, the nature of that field has varied considerably through time for reasons that are still poorly understood. Read more
Understanding variability in Earth’s climate and magnetic field using new archives from the Iberian Margin
Project Rationale. Marine sediments from the west Iberian Margin off the coast of Portugal offer exceptional opportunities to build high-fidelity and detailed (millennial scale) records of Earth’s past climate change. Read more
Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere
The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.

Nanoparticle synthesis and application in magnetic field hyperthermia for cancer therapy
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Magnetic field hyperthermia (MFH) is currently undergoing clinical trials for use in humans. The research to date has shown the effectiveness of the approach in cells and animal models and the initial results from human trials are promising. Read more
Coronal genealogy: the evolution of high-energy emission from low-mass stars
This PhD project will use models and observations of forming low-mass stars to shed light on the history and evolution of Sun-like stars. Read more
Star Formation Triggered by Colliding Interstellar Clouds
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
CONTEXT. Much of the interstellar gas in a galaxy like the Milky Way is in dense molecular clouds. When these clouds enter a spiral arm, they merge to form larger clouds, and are compressed to higher densities. Read more
Quantum materials at the interface of mobile electrons and frustrated magnetism studied using high magnetic elds
In magnetically frustrated materials it is not possible to satisfy all magnetic interactions simultaneously. They are the subject of a great deal of current research, because they may be home to a so-called quantum spin liquid. Read more
Coordinated ground and space-based exploration of the cusp ionosphere
Project Highlights. Explore data from the new NASA TRACERS mission. Understand “Space Weather” and solar-planetary physics. Run experiments on state-of-the-art ionospheric radar systems. Read more
Electrodynamics of the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere coupled system
The interaction of the solar wind with the Earth’s magnetic field leads to dynamic phenomena in near-Earth space, including the energization and circulation of plasma within the magnetosphere and ionosphere – the most visible manifestation of which is the polar auroras – which lead to a hostile environment for space- and ground-based technologies.

Mars crustal magnetic fields: protection for exploration
The surface of Mars is a harsh environment for robotic and human exploration, with strong temperature differences (0 to 20 °C during the day and -100 to -120 °C at night), ultraviolet radiation which penetrates the thin atmosphere, and a significant radiation environment from galactic and solar energetic particle sources.

Miniaturization of optically-pumped alkali magnetometers (OPMs)
As part of an international research project, we want to broaden and improve the applicability of optically pumped magnetometers (OPM). Read more
Magnetosphere-surface Interactions at Mercury
BepiColombo is the first interplanetary dual-spacecraft mission, comprising the ESA Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) focusing on the planet, and JAXA Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO) dedicated to the space environment. Read more
Determining the geomagnetic and heliophysical parameters that control increases and decreases in Earth’s outer radiation belt
Earth’s geospace environment incorporates a dynamic population of near-relativistic electrons trapped on magnetic field lines that extend out to geosynchronous orbit known as the Outer Radiation Belt (ORB). Read more
