Matthew Lang

Matthew Lang is a researcher affiliated with the University of Reading, specializing in solar physics, space weather, and data assimilation techniques. His work focuses on improving solar wind forecasting through computational modeling and observational data integration.

• Education: PhD in Space Weather (2016), University of Reading.

Lang's research interests center on heliospheric dynamics, particularly the interactions of solar wind with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). He has developed data assimilation frameworks to enhance predictive accuracy for CME propagation and solar wind structures.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding the solar cycle's influence on space weather, optimizing particle filter schemes for CME tracking, and quantifying observational biases in latitudinal solar wind data. His work spans interdisciplinary applications in astrophysics and environmental science, including carbon flux modeling and ecosystem drought impacts.
