During his visit on 10.04.2025, he presented a talk: "Solar atmosphere vortices and their importance for energy transport and waves excitation "
04.04.2025 We are proud to announce the publication of an article titled “Wave analysis tools” in Nature Reviews Methods Primers, a work that builds upon rigorous discussions and critical assessments of methodological approaches in wave analysis, culminating in the development of a unified open-access code repository (WaLSAtools) for such analyses. This project was profoundly inspired by the insightful contributions of our esteemed colleague and co-author, Bernhard Fleck, whose deep scientific curiosity and unwavering commitment to methodological precision have been instrumental not only in shaping this work but also in advancing our collective understanding of wave-based diagnostics.
Many thanks to Shahin Jafarzadeh for his incredible contributions to this project! His unwavering dedication, expertise, and relentless commitment have played a pivotal role in driving the success of this initiative. Shahin’s exceptional work has not only elevated the quality of our outcomes but has also inspired the entire team.
