Dr. Panesar received her Ph.D. from the University of Göttingen, Germany. She is currently a Research Scientist at the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL) and the SETI Institute. Prior to joining LMSAL, she was a NASA Postdoctoral Fellow at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and a visiting research scholar at Stanford University. She is a member of the SDO/AIA science team at LMSAL. Her research focuses on using multi-instrument solar observations to investigate the formation and eruption mechanisms of different types of jets/jetlets/network jets, and minifilaments. She studies the magnetic field evolution at the base of these features with SDO/HMI magnetograms and correlates them with EUV/UV observations from instruments such as SDO/AIA, IRIS, Hi-C, and Solar Orbiter/EUI. Her work encompasses solar features including coronal jets, jetlets, network jets, minifilaments, prominences/tornadoes, campfires, and large-scale eruptions such as coronal mass ejections. In addition, she employs MHD modeling (Bifrost) to interpret and gain deeper insight into solar observations.
