معرفی
Tomas Karlsson is a Professor and Deputy Head of Department at the Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in Space and Plasma Physics. He teaches courses such as EF2240 Space Physics, EF2245 Space Physics II, and EI1240 Electromagnetic Theory, while serving as examiner or coordinator for advanced projects and thesis work in space-related fields.
His research focuses on the interaction between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres, with specific interests in bow shock physics, magnetosheath jets, solar wind magnetic holes, auroral physics, and comparative studies of magnetospheres across planets and comets. He employs spacecraft data (e.g., MMS, Cluster, BepiColombo) and simulations to analyze plasma dynamics and space weather phenomena.
The 15 most recent publications highlight trends in solar wind turbulence, magnetospheric boundary processes, and planetary plasma interactions, with recurring themes in SLAMS (Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures), magnetosheath jet formation, and magnetic hole propagation. These works span statistical surveys, hybrid simulations, and multi-mission data analysis.
