Predoc List

Crisel Suarez is a graduate student at Vanderbilt University where she is currently pursuing her Ph.D in Physics. She is interested in studying the physical properties of the solar corona by comparing different types of observations to numerical models. Her research focuses on analyzing solar flare observations from the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) Cubesats and using the hydrodynamic numerical simulations (HYDRAD) to better understand the emission, temperature and elemental abundances of the solar corona during flares. While at the CfA, Crisel is working with Dr. Christopher Moore to better understand the signature of Quasi-Periodic Pulsations (QPP) in solar flares by using a data constrained successive reconnection model.
