Adrian Pöppelwerth

Adrian Pöppelwerth is a doctoral researcher at the Technical University of Braunschweig, affiliated with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Physics and specifically the Institute of Geophysics and Extraterrestrial Physics. He is a member of the Space Physics & Space Sensors Group, maintaining an office in room A 501 and contactable via telephone (+49 531 391 - 5211) and email.

His research focuses on space plasma physics phenomena, particularly plasma jets in the magnetosheath, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, and surface waves on the magnetopause. His doctoral work centers on the development of waves at plasma-physical interfaces and calibration of THEMIS/ARTEMIS magnetometer data. Previously, he completed a master's thesis on multi-satellite investigations of plasma jets in Earth's magnetosheath.

Pöppelwerth has demonstrated significant research productivity with three publications in 2024 across leading space physics journals including Annales Geophysicae, Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, and EPL. His work shows strong emphasis on space weather phenomena, magnetospheric dynamics, and spacecraft-based measurements of plasma behavior.

His research has practical applications in space sensor technology and understanding Earth's space environment. The collaborative nature of his publications, working with researchers from multiple institutions, demonstrates his integration into the international space physics community.
