Catch up on two Doctoral Lectures on Jupiter’s Northern Lights and Observing CO2 from Space
Inaugural Lectures are where the very best of our research degree graduates get the chance to return and share their work.The online event on September 16th featured two of our very best of our research degree graduates from the School of Physics and Astronomy. You can watch the lectures here:
Dr Rosie Johnson , UK (Wales) “Jupiter’s Northern Lights”
Rosie graduated from the University of Leicester in 2018 after completing her PhD studying Jupiter’s northern lights. During her PhD, Rosie was awarded 76 hours of observing time at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility in Hawaii. Since finishing her PhD, Rosie worked as a white water raft guide in Austria and a northern lights guide in Finland. Rosie now works for the Royal Society of Chemistry as an Education Coordinator in Wales, providing regional support to teachers of chemistry.
Dr Peter Somkuti, USA (Colorado) “Observing carbon dioxide from space”
Peter Somkuti was born in Budapest, Hungary and grew up in Vienna, Austria. After graduating from the higher technical college “TGM Vienna”, he went on to study physics at the Vienna University of Technology. He finished his undergraduate studies with a thesis in theoretical high-energy physics, supervised by Andreas Ipp and Anton Rebhan. After a short excursion in the private research industry at the Austrian Centre of Competence for Tribology, he started his doctoral studies at the University of Leicester under Hartmut Bösch. After finishing his work in Leicester, he took a position as post-doctoral fellow at Colorado State University where he works on current and future scientific satellite missions to measure trace gases from space.
