Dr. Lingling Zhao, an assistant professor in the Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research (CSPAR) at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has been awarded a $681,356 National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award. The project will run through June 2030 and aims to advance the theoretical and observational understanding of how low-frequency magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence interacts with shocks in the heliosphere - a vast, bubble-like region of space carved out by the solar wind from the sun.UAH Researcher Wins $681K NSF CAREER Award to Study the Interaction of Shockwaves and Solar Wind Turbulence in the Sun's Heliosphere
