Research
Na Deng (ND)
started to be engaged in solar physics research in January of
2002. ND's current research interests lie in:
High-resolution
ground-based solar observations with Adaptive Optics (AO),
speckle masking imaging, and 2D spectropolarimetry
Analysis
and interpretation of data from ground and space observations and their
coordination
Sunspot structure and magnetic field and
their evolution associated with flare/CME
Flows in solar active regions and their
relation to flare/CME
occurrence
Fine structure in solar active regions
Image reconstruction techniques
Spectral analysis of solar absorption
lines
Current Projects:
Spectral
analysis of Stokes profiles
in photosphere and chromosphere
Multi-height
properties of sunspot
moat and Evershed flows
Any comments or
suggestions are highly
appreciated.
