Professor Viktor Fedun is a faculty member at the University of Sheffield's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, holding the position of Professor in Space Science. He leads the Dynamical Systems and Systems Engineering theme and coordinates student-led projects. His academic journey includes a PhD in Heliophysics from the National Taras Shevchenko University (1998), followed by research roles in Ukraine before joining the University of Sheffield in 2005 as a STFC-funded researcher.
- Education: B.Sc. (1994, National Taras Shevchenko University), PhD (1998, same institution).
- Research Focus: MHD wave theory, plasma dynamics, solar vortex structures, ionospheric perturbations, and energy transport mechanisms.
- Leadership: Theme Lead for Dynamical Systems, coordinating interdisciplinary projects.
Research interests span solar and space plasma physics, with a focus on magnetohydrodynamic wave propagation, vortex dynamics, and plasma instabilities. His work includes numerical modeling of solar atmospheric phenomena using high-performance computing (HPC) and GPU-based simulations.
Publications highlight studies on solar vortex tubes, Poynting flux dynamics, and magnetic flux tube interactions. Collaborations include international projects like the Plasma Dynamics Group and contributions to missions such as ESA’s Solar Orbiter and DKIST. He has secured grants totaling over £500k, focusing on solar magnetism, vortex networks, and space weather.
Teaching and outreach roles include supervising student projects (e.g., SUNbYte solar telescope initiative) and promoting space education through rocketry and balloon-based experiments. Professional activities include memberships in solar physics societies and editorial roles in journals.
