Rose Waugh

Dr Rose Waugh is a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews, School of Physics and Astronomy. Her research focuses on stellar magnetic phenomena, including magnetic confinement in stellar coronae, stellar prominences, and mass loss mechanisms in low-mass stars. She investigates how magnetic fields influence plasma dynamics and stellar wind behavior, contributing to our understanding of stellar astrophysics.

Research Interests:

• Magnetohydrodynamics in stellar environments
• Stellar coronae and plasma confinement
• Dynamics of slingshot prominences
• Mass loss processes in M-dwarf stars

Her publications analyze magnetic field structures and their role in stellar phenomena, with recent work emphasizing observational and computational modeling of magnetic confinement effects. Dr Waugh received the PhD student of the year award in 2020, reflecting her impactful contributions to astrophysical research.

Her work is supported by datasets exploring stellar prominences and magnetic confinement, available via the University of St Andrews repository.
