Ineke De Moortel

Ineke De Moortel FRAS FRSE is a Belgian applied mathematician in Scotland, where she is a professor of applied mathematics at the University of St Andrews, director of research in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at St Andrews,[1] and president of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society.[2] Her research concerns the computational and mathematical modelling of solar physics, and particularly of the sun's corona.[1][3]

Education and career

De Moortel earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1997 at KU Leuven.[4] She completed a Ph.D. in solar physics in 2001 at the University of St Andrews; her dissertation, Theoretical & Observational Aspects of Wave Propagation in the Solar Corona, was supervised by Alan Hood. She remained at St Andrews as a postdoctoral researcher and research fellow, becoming a reader there in 2008 and a professor in 2013.[4]

Recognition

In 2005, De Moortel became a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.[4] In 2009 she won the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Astronomy and Astrophysics.[5] She was elected to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2015, and previously co-chaired its affiliate society, the Young Academy of Scotland.[3]

gollark: Those really just seem cheaty and overdone.
gollark: How do you detect CK-class events?
gollark: THEY. ARE. APIOFORMS.
gollark: * apioforms, and they might probably hopefully be detected.
gollark: Because they work very differently to humans, they are able to detect apioforms which would cloak themselves from human perception.
