Research
I
am currently halfway through my 2nd year of my PhD and have been
working with Dr Parnell, mainly on the evolution of flux in the
quiet-Sun.
High Resolution MDI data
Fulldisk MDI Data
Recently I've been looking at identifying flux
emergence on fulldisk magnetograms. I have 2 sets of fulldisk MDI
data taken from SOHO. The first data set is from the 21 Dec 2006 and
contains active region remnants. The second set is all quiet Sun and is
from the 29 Dec 2006.
Here are a few gifs which show possible emergences/bipoles in
the 29 Dec
data:

About
Me
I'm from a
small town between Falkirk and Stirling ,
called Denny. I went to high
school at Denny High before coming to University of St-Andrews. I
graduated with an Mphys in
Theoretical Physics and Maths in 2006 and
began
my PhD with the Solar Group at
St-Andrews in sept 2006.
Outside of uni I like reading (anything I can get my hands on)
and playing rugby (I'm a fullback and captain of the local team!) I
also like socialising and you'll often find me down the pub with a few
other PhD students.
