This project aims to advance the automated detection and analysis of solar features using deep learning and computer vision. By leveraging high-precision space-based solar imagery, the research will focus on detecting and tracking oscillatory phenomena in coronal holes and solar filaments—key drivers of space weather disruptions. The interdisciplinary collaboration between Computer Science and Mathematics at Exeter and Physics at Warwick will build on existing automated tools to enhance space weather forecasting, which is recognised in the UK’s risk register as having a significant global impact.

The application deadline is midday on 12th January 2026. You can find full details and apply here:
