Caitríona M. Jackman is an Irish space physicist. In 2021, she became the first female senior professor at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) Dunsink Observatory.[1][2][3] She has made important contributions to understanding the solar wind interactions with planetary magnetospheres.[4]
Education and early life
Jackman gained a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Physics from the University of Limerick in 2003. She then completed a PhD in Planetary Physics at the University of Leicester in 2006 supervised by Stan Cowley.[5]
Career and research
After her PhD, Jackman undertook research roles at Imperial College London and University College London.[6] In 2013 she moved to the University of Southampton on lecturer and, later, associate professor roles.[7] In 2021 she was appointed senior professor and head of DIAS planetary magnetospheres group.[8]
Jackman's research focuses on the physics of planetary magnetospheres, primarily of the Earth and Jupiter.[9] She has made key discoveries about the response of the Earth and Jupiter magnetosphere systems to the changes in the solar wind,[10] in particular how the aurora works, and how machine learning and complexity science can be used to study huge volumes of data from space.[11] She is also involved in a number of outreach activities,[12] including Ireland's first space-themed escape room, designed to make space accessible to a wider audience.[13]
