Corin Jorgenson

Corin Jorgenson is a Sponsored Visiting Researcher in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Strathclyde's Faculty of Engineering, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation Postdoc.Mobility scheme. His work focuses on explosive volcanic phenomena within the geosciences domain.

His research centers on unraveling the mechanisms behind explosive mafic eruptions—a poorly understood process in volcanology—using advanced x-ray computed tomography for high-resolution internal analysis of volcanic materials. This work bridges geological field studies with imaging technology, contributing to hazard assessment models and fundamental understanding of magma dynamics in Earth Sciences.

His scientific recognition includes:

• Swiss National Science Foundation Postdoc.Mobility Fellowship

As a postdoctoral researcher, Jorgenson operates under the Postdoc.Mobility grant framework, conducting independent investigations without formal student supervision. His experimental work leverages Strathclyde's engineering facilities for volcanic sample analysis, collaborating with geoscience specialists while advancing methodologies in eruption process characterization.
