Professor Clare Watt is a space plasma physicist at Northumbria University's Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering. She specializes in space weather and radiation belt dynamics, focusing on numerical simulations and spacecraft observations to study wave-particle interactions in Earth's magnetosphere. Her research examines processes like auroral electron acceleration, radiation belt energization, and magnetospheric substorms. Watt holds a PhD from St Catharine’s College, Cambridge (2002), and has conducted research at the British Antarctic Survey and the University of Alberta.
She leads major projects including the STFC Consolidated Grants (2015-2020) and the Rad-Sat and Sat-Risk consortia (2017-2023), advancing space weather modeling and satellite risk forecasting. Watt serves on advisory boards for the European Space Agency and UK Space Agency, and previously held roles at the Royal Astronomical Society. Her work integrates theoretical, observational, and computational approaches to unravel complex plasma phenomena in near-Earth space.
