My proposed PhD project involves examining high energy emission from the solar corona, in an effort to understand the questions associated with the nature of the processes that heat the solar corona to such high temperatures, maintain it at these temperatures and also accelerate the solar wind.  The project will involve use of data obtained from the Hinode satellite. My intention is to use my PhD training as a springboard for future research in the field.
