Title: Honorary Professor
Email: cjackman@cp.dias.ie
Address: DIAS Dunsink Observatory, Dunsink Lane, Castleknock, Dublin 15, D15 XR2R, Ireland.
Research interests:
Planetary magnetospheres, magnetic reconnection, planetary X-ray and radio emissions, machine learning, Space Weather
Biographical sketch:
Dr. Jackman obtained a BSc in Applied Physics from the University of Limerick in 2003 and a PhD in Planetary Physics from the University of Leicester in 2006. She has held research positions at Imperial College London, and two consecutive fellowships (Leverhulme Trust and Royal Astronomical Society) at University College London. She moved to the University of Southampton in 2013, where she has held a Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Ernest Rutherford Fellowship to study planetary and stellar magnetospheres. She is a Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s National Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. At the heart of her research is Space Plasma Physics in our solar system and beyond. She is an expert in planetary magnetospheres, the magnetic bubbles which surround magnetised planets. She has worked with data from missions including NASA’s Cassini at Saturn, ESA’s Cluster mission in orbit around Earth, NASA’s Juno at Jupiter, and with data from the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Her research interests include understanding how the aurora works, and how machine learning and complexity science can be used to study huge volumes of data from space. She joins DIAS in 2019 and will focus on data-intensive Space Physics.

Another example of COVID creativity arises from Celtic Studies researchers, who launched the Irish Script on Screen project, so Scholars worldwide could access ancient manuscripts online. So far this year there has been 2,676,399 hits on the on the website. @DIAS_ISOS
Our second example of creativity was from our Theoretical physicists, who continued their collaborative work on complex theorems by installing some blackboards on the railings outside DIAS to work safely in the open air. More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #DIASdiscovers #blackboard
This week we are looking back over the COVID year of 2020 and celebrating the adaptability of our researchers. First up was the successful COVID compliant @SEA_SEIS expedition in May 2020. Read More: dias.ie/2021/01/13/dia… #covid19 #research #DIASdiscovers #INSN #seismology
DIAS Professor @TomRayDIAS, worked on the JWST to produce the special infrared filters required by the Mid Infra-Red Instrument (MIRI), that break up the light into its various components. JWST is now due to launch in 2021! bbc.com/news/science-e… #DIASdiscovers #JWST #MIRI
