Steph Yardley

Steph Yardley is an Assistant Professor at Northumbria University within the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering. Their research focuses on solar physics, heliospheric dynamics, and solar wind variability. They are actively involved in analyzing data from missions like Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe to study magnetic field structures and plasma behavior in the Sun's atmosphere and inner heliosphere.

Recent work includes investigations into Alfvénic turbulence in solar wind streams, elemental abundance diagnostics using SPICE/EIS instruments, and the role of multi-source connectivity in solar wind variability. Yardley has collaborated internationally with institutions such as the University of Rome Tor Vergata, University of California, and the European Space Agency.

With 486 total citations and 33 published works, their contributions span solar wind dynamics, coronal mass ejection analysis, and space weather modeling. They are willing to engage with media on topics related to solar physics and space science.
