The Faint Young Sun Paradox
|
There is evidence for the presence of liquid water and warmer temperatures on Earth approximately 3 billion years ago, whereas our best models for the evolution of the Sun predict that the Sun was less luminous that time, and so, predict a snowball Earth. This conundrum is the Faint Young Sun paradox, and I am trying to solve it.

Variation of Filament Chirality with the Phase of the Solar cycle
|
By manually identifying the chirality of filaments at various phases in the solar cycle, we plan to calibrate Dr. Pietro Bernasconi's code that identifies the chirality automatically to determine its level of accuracy.

The Study of Torsional oscillations in the Solar Convection Zone
|
The study of Helioseismic rotation velocity measurements of the Sun from Global Oscillations Network Group (GONG). The Sun's rotation velocity changes with a period of 11 years. I am trying to study this changing velocity pattern called torsional oscillation.

Past Research
The Impact of Torsional Oscillations on
|
I plugged in the helioseismic observations of torsional oscillations in a kinematic flux transport dynamo model of the Sun to study their effect on the Solar cycle.
|
Surface Flux Transport Simulations
|
I developed a "Surface Flux Transport" code that simulates the evolution of the radial component of magnetic field on stellar surfaces. See here.
