Cecilia Norgren receives FRIPRO funding from Norges forskningsråd for her proposal ‘Xplode – Why, how, and where do magnetic fields discharge?’. Through a combined use of kinetic particle-in-cell simulations and in situ spacecraft observations by the Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission, the project will aim to answer the questions of when and where magnetic reconnection is initiated. The project begins in summer 2023 and will cover a three-year post-doc position. We are looking forward to some exciting research!
