Manuela Temmer is associate professor of Astrophysics[1] at the University of Graz, Austria and Head of the Heliospheric Physics Research Group.[2] She is an expert in the science underpinning space weather forecasting.[3]

Education and scientific career

edit

Temmer completed her PhD at the university in Graz in 2004, before taking up a post-doctoral research scientist post at Hvar Observatory, Zagreb. She returned to Graz for further post-doctoral work before securing a senior research fellowship in 2014 at Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, Palo Alto. She returned to Graz in 2015.[4]

Research interests

edit

Temmer has published more than 200 scientific papers on solar and heliospheric physics.[5] Of note is her work on solar flares[6] and coronal mass ejections, particularly their evolution from Sun through interplanetary space, to their impacts at Earth.[7] She has developed methods for forecasting space weather at Earth and Mars, and heads up an International Space Weather Action Team[8] under the auspices of COSPAR.
