Rate My Professor Christopher Hanson

Christopher Hanson is a Research Scientist at New York University Abu Dhabi, affiliated with the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science. He holds a BSc with Honours and a PhD from Monash University, where he completed his doctoral thesis titled 'Solar Oscillations in Magnetic Regions' in 2014. Prior to his current role, Hanson served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen, Germany.

His research focuses on helioseismology, computational methods, and solar physics, with a particular emphasis on imaging the interior structure of the Sun to better understand convection, inertial waves, and magnetism. Hanson utilizes space and ground-based observations in his work and manages the data center for the Center for Astrophysics and Space Science. He also applies machine learning techniques to enhance helioseismic tools.
