Terry Hand BSc 1st Class (Hons)

I studied my undergraduate degree in astrophysics at Aberystwyth University, graduating in 2024. I achieved a 1st Honors in said degree, and I was the recipient of the David Travena prize. After graduating, I was awarded a position at Aberystwyth to study a PhD in plasma physics, which I am currently working towards. I also have connections with the Lifelong Learning department as a tutor, and in my spare time also tutor A-level students in physics and mathematics. 

My PhD is under the umbrella of “astrophysical plasma physics”. I am currently researching ways of better understanding turbulence in the Solar wind, specifically, better ways of estimating the Reynolds number in the plasma which is something that helps categorize the state of a fluid system.
