Research
Na Deng (ND)
started to be engaged in solar physics research in January of
2002. ND's current research interests lie in:
Spectro-polarimetric study of
solar active region magnetic and flow fields at multiple heights.
Sunspot penumbral structure in white light and magnetic field vector.
Rapid change of sunspot structure and magnetic fields associated with flares and
CMEs
Active region flow fields and sunspot motions associated with flares and CMEs
Image reconstruction techniques
Stokes inversion techniques
Some past projects:
Spectral
analysis of Stokes profiles
in photosphere and chromosphere
Multi-height
properties of sunspot
moat and Evershed flows
Refereed
