Assistant Professor Merav Opher

Merav Opher studies magnetic field processes in space physics and astrophysics, particularly how magnetic field affect the interstellar medium, disks around young stars, solar, stellar winds, jets and the early universe. She does this by using sophisticated numerical modelling as experiments in conjunction with new theoretical approaches and observational data. Opher also is interested in developing new computational models (such as coupling Kinetic-MHD models; PIC Codes-MHD; new AMR techniques, etc). She has a BS in physics and a PhD in physics and astronomy from the University of Sao Paulo.
