Suman Chakraborty

Suman Chakraborty is a Research Fellow at Northumbria University, affiliated with the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering under the College of Science, Technology and Health. His work focuses on space physics and radiation belt dynamics.

• Research Interests: Specializing in wave-particle interactions in Earth's magnetosphere, particularly chorus wave effects on relativistic electron populations in the Van Allen belts. Investigates solar wind coupling to radiation belt dynamics and flux-limiting mechanisms.
• Methodologies: Combines satellite data analysis (Van Allen Probes) with machine learning techniques for diagnosing electron distributions and predicting space weather phenomena.

Publication Trends: Recent work examines radiation belt dropout events during storms, multiscale ULF wave analysis, and comparative studies between ground and satellite electron precipitation observations. Collaborative research with international teams across Canada (Ozeke), USA (Mauk, Spence), and UK institutions.

Scientific Collaborations: Regularly partners with space agencies and research groups studying magnetospheric physics, contributing to advancements in understanding geomagnetic storm impacts on near-Earth space environments.
