Dr. Stefano Maffei is a Lecturer at ETH Zurich's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, affiliated with the Institute of Geophysics. He specializes in geomagnetism, geophysical fluid dynamics, and space weather, with a focus on Earth's core dynamics and their observable effects. His work includes developing novel models like Plesio-Geostrophy to study rapid core motions and forecasting geomagnetic field changes.
Education includes a PhD (2016) and master's (2012) from ETH Zurich and University of Bologna, respectively. Research highlights include investigating core convection, auroral zone evolution under space weather, and paleomagnetic directional changes during geomagnetic transitions.
Key contributions span core-mantle interactions, magnetoconvection regimes, and interdisciplinary space climate studies. Collaborative projects include the SWIGS initiative (UK space weather risk analysis) and grants from the EU and Swiss National Science Foundation. No formal awards are listed, but his work has been cited in high-impact journals.
