Stuart Gilchrist

I am a solar physicist. My primary research interests are numerical modeling of the coronal magnetic field, magneto-hydrodynamics, and Bayesian model validation. Outside solar physics, I have a general interest in computational physics, numerical methods, and parallel programming.

I developed the Current-Field Iteration in Spherical (CFITS) coordinates code for performing NonLinear Force-Free magnetic Field (NLFFF) extrapolations in spherical coordinates.
