Scientific Researcher
Indian Institute of Geomagnetism
Brief Bio and expertise:
Dr. Remya Bhanu did her PhD in Physics in 2014 from Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), Navi Mumbai, India. After her Phd she continued as a research associate at IIG. Shortly after, she obtained the Academia Sinica Postdoctoral Fellowship in Taiwan in 2015. In 2017, she moved to IIG to work as Assistant Professor. She was a NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) Fellow at Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland, USA in 2020-2021 and currently returned to her alma mater to work as a research scientist.
Expertise: Plasma waves and instabilities, Earth’s magnetosphere, Wave-particle interactions, Radiation belt dynamics
