PhD Student
I am a final-year Ph.D. student studying the heating of non-flaring/micro-flaring active regions, supervised by Dr Iain Hannah.
My interests range from stellar to solar physics; my main interests lie in the heating of the solar atmosphere, including active regions and loops. I am currently gaining expertise in analysis of data from SDO/AIA, Hinode/XRT, Hinode/EIS, and NuSTAR.

DeepEM is a (supervised) deep learning approach to DEM inversion that is currently under development on Github, and Figure 1 compares the solution from DeepEM to that of Basis Pursuit (Cheung et al 2015).
Figure 1: SDO/AIA images in 171 and 211 A (logT = 5.9, 6.3 K), vs the DeepEM and Basis Pursuit solutions for the same temperature.
