Previous years teaching

Postgraduate Studies:

I currently have one postgraduate student:

• Adam Rees, presently in his third year, working on Ulysses observations of Coronal Mass Ejections
  
  
• Dorian Clack, my first PhD student, was awarded his PhD in February 2001. He studied the magnetic field structure of Corotating Interaction Regions. He is now working at MIT.
