EU funded projects
- Plasma reconnection, shocks and turbulence in solar system interactions: Modelling and observations (PRESTISSIMO), ERC Consolidator Grant project (2016 -2022). PRESTISSIMO uses and develops the novel Vlasiator code to determine the combined influence of reconnection, shocks and particle acceleration on the global magnetospheric dynamics, based on kinetic plasma theory.
