Modeling of Magnetohydrodynamic Geodynamos Provides International Research and Life Experiences to AMSC Graduate Student Sarah Cassie Burnett

IPST / 11 October 2019 /

Sarah C. Burnett, a 4th year Ph.D. candidate in the Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Scientific Computing program, received in July 2019 a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program’s (GFRP) Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide (GROW) Award. With this award, Ms. Burnett, a student of Dan Lathrop and Kayo Ide, has had the opportunity to conduct research at the Université of Grenoble's Institut des Sciences de la Terre (ISTerre) in France under Dr. Nathanaël Schaeffer, an expert in modeling of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) geodynamos.

Professor Dan Lathrop (IPST / Physics) is an expert on the dynamics of the Earth's magnetic core, and Associate Professor Kayo Ide (IPST / AOSC) conducts world class research in data assimilation and scientific prediction.
