PhD Student Projects
Our projects provide attractive research opportunities for
PhD students at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Uppsala
University, specializing in space physics. Funding can be from
the University or via external grants, with staff from our group
acting as supervisors. Openings for PhD studies
(usually one or two per year) are advertised when available.
Ongoing projects
- Madeleine Holmberg, Cassini investigations of dust-plasma interactions [funded by SNSB, supervisors Wahlund/Piskunov/Ratinskaya]
- Cecilia Norgren, Reconnection studies (Cluster), supervisors Vaivads/André, former project student
- Oleg Shebanits, pre-biotic conditions at Titan (Cassini), supervisors Wahlund/Geppert/Björneholm, former project student
- Henrik Wiberg, Cluster investigations of waves generated in reconnection regions [Funded by SNSB, supervisors Khotyaintsev/Vaivads]
