I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Catania and a member of the Solar Physics team of the Astrophysical Observatory of Catania. I study the solar corona, i.e. the outer part of the Sun's atmosphere. My interests are mainly solar wind generation and numerical modelling of coronal loop heating.

Have a look at the Sun on the official SOHO web page.
