4	Daniel	Billett	Lancaster University	d.billet@lancaster.ac.uk	PhD (started in 2016)	High latitude thermosphere-ionopshere coupling, mainly the effects of ion drag and the timescales on which it acts. Resultant Joule heating and it’s variations due to multiple criteria (Aurora/neutral winds).
5	Téo	Bloch	University of Reading	t.bloch@pgr.reading.ac.uk	PhD (started in 2017)	Machine Learning, Solar Wind, Radiation Belts, Space Weather, Big Data Techniques.
6	Angeline	Burrell	U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C., USA	angeline.burrell@nrl.navy.mil	Research Physicist (PhD completed in 2012)	I am an ionospheric scientist who is also involved in community programming efforts. My investigations currently focus on interactions within the ionosphere. For example, how and when interactions with the sun, neutral atmosphere, and magnetic field are important. I take an observational approach, primarily using radars and satellites.

9	Emma	Davies	Imperial College London	emma.davies12@imperial.ac.uk	PhD (started in 2017)	Heliospheric physics, evolution of coronal mass ejections, magnetic clouds, solar wind, solar transients.
10	Sofija	Durward	Lancaster University	s.durward@lancaster.ac.uk	PhD student	Investigating the interaction between the solar wind and the Martian plasma environment.
11	Joe	Eggington	Imperial College London	j.eggington17@imperial.ac.uk	PhD (started in 2017)	Magnetospheric physics, ionospheric physics, space weather, magnetic reconnection, magnetohydrodynamics, computer simulations
12	Greg	Hunt	Imperial College London	g.hunt@imperial.ac.uk	PDRA	Saturn's magnetosphere; end of the Cassini mission; Saturn's periodicities; large-scale currents systems; field-aligned current systems
13	Christopher	Lorch	Lancaster University	c.lorch@lancaster.ac.uk	PhD (started in 2018)	My research looks into the structure of currents within the Jovian magnetodisc. How do asymmetries affect the location of field aligned currents? I use all available magnetometer data to calculate the radial and azimuthal current densities, their divergences and hence infer the location of field aligned currents in the magnetodisc.
14	Heather	McCreadie	Aberystwyth University	Hem18@aber.ac.uk	Lecturer (PhD completed in 1988)	Ionosphere, magnetosphere, Sq, EEJ, geomagnetic field.
15	Beatriz	Sanchez-Cano	University of Leicester	bscmdr1@leicester.ac.uk	Postdoc (with PhD completed in 2014))	Mars plasma system, ionosphere, space weather.
16	Jasmine	Sandhu	MSSL, UCL	j.sandhu@ucl.ac.uk	Postdoc (PhD completed in 2016)	Understanding the role of substorms in ring current energisation using Van Allen observations. How field line eigenfrequencies are shaped by the plasma properties and observing changes in field line eigenfrequency during dynamic events.
17	Harneet	Sangha	University of Leicester	hs372@le.ac.uk	PhD student (started in 2017)	Electrical current systems of the magnetosphere (field-aligned currents); dynamics of the terrestrial magnetosphere; sub-auroral polarization streams (SAPS); magnetospheric and ionospheric convection.
18	Andy	Smith	MSSL/UCL	andy.w.smith@ucl.ac.uk	PDRA	Ground impact of Space Weather, Classification and Forecasting; Substorm dynamics and onset, conjugate ground and space observations.

20	Maria-Theresia	Walach	Lancaster University	m.walach@lancaster.ac.uk	Postdoc (PhD completed in 2017)	I study solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling at Earth, particularly the response time-scales to solar wind driving in the coupled system and the variability in the responses. I use data from the SuperDARN (Super Dual Auroral Radar Network). Previously I also used convection measurements and imagery from satellites to study the aurora.
