Topics for Bachelor and Master Thesis

All projects are in close collaboration with space agencies ESA and NASA.

Coronal mass ejections - CMEs:

• 3D modeling of CMEs (stereoscopic data, triangulation, GCS)
• CME propagation in interplanetary space and interaction with the solar wind 
• CME arrival time and speed prediction using the ELEvoHI model (Dr. Tanja Amerstorfer/IWF Graz - Bachelor thesis)
• CME characteristics over the inner heliosphere - from Helios to PSP and SolOrb

Space Weather

• Space Weather forecasting - ESA model development 
• Space Weather effects at the inner planets in our solar system
• Neutral density enhancement in the Earth's thermosphere and relation to heliospheric structures

Observatory Lustbühel Graz (OLG)

• Solar radio type II and III bursts (e-CALLISTO network and OLG data) related to flares and CME shocks

Studies are primarily performed using satellite data as e.g., NASA/STEREO, NASA/PSP, ESA/SolOrb, NASA/SDO, ESA-NASA/SoHO, NASA/ACE - Wind, NOAA/DSCOVR, ESA/Proba2.

In preparation for a master thesis, I offer internships of 3-4 weeks duration during the summer months (July-September).
