About Me
I'm a solar physicist, science communicator and author, currently working at the Laboratory for Atmospheric & Space Physics in Boulder, Colorado. I'm working to pursue the mysteries of the Sun at the forefront of modern solar physics research, using cutting edge telescopes on the ground and in space.
In addition to my scientific work, I strive to share the wonders of the Sun and space with the public, through social media (65k+ followers), museums and observatories, and on television and radio. My first book, 'The Sun: beginner's guide to our local star', is available everywhere now.
I am also an avid hiker, nature photographer, and skier, perhaps because the mountains take me closer to the Sun.
