Research is focused on the Magnetohydrodynamics of magnetic plasmas in the sun and stars. It aims to explain fundamental processes observed in the sun and other astrophysical bodies. It builds on and complements the laws of plasma physics that are investigated in magnetic fusion machines. Current research topics are: - Ideal and resistive MHD stability of magnetic arcades and loops in order to explain the remarkable stability and the sudden ...
