Cosima Breu

Cosima Breu is a Research Fellow in Applied Mathematics at the University of St Andrews, affiliated with the School of Mathematics and Statistics. Her research focuses on solar physics, plasma dynamics, and computational modeling of solar phenomena. She investigates topics such as coronal loops, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) processes, and energy transfer mechanisms in the solar atmosphere.

Key research areas include analyzing numerical simulations of solar structures, interpreting observational data from missions like MUSE, and studying non-thermal processes in coronal lines. Her recent work examines how numerical treatments affect energy flux modeling and explores swirl dynamics in the solar corona.

Breu has published extensively on solar physics topics in journals like Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and Astronomy & Astrophysics. Her research bridges theoretical MHD modeling with observational data to advance understanding of the solar atmosphere's behavior.
