Emilia Kilpua (born November 18, 1977, in Oulu) is a Finnish space scientist. She is currently Professor of Space Physics at the University of Helsinki.[1]
Background and career
[edit]Kilpua was born and raised in Oulu, northern Finland, where auroras are commonplace in winter. She studied theoretical physics and mathematics at the University of Helsinki, followed by a Master's degree and PhD, with a thesis titled Interplanetary shocks, magnetic clouds and magnetospheric storms, which she completed in 2005.[2] She undertook a postdoctoral research associate post in the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley. She moved back to Finland in 2008.
Scientific interests
[edit]Kilpua's primary research focus is space weather, particularly with an eye to improving forecasting.[3][4] She has made advances in our understanding of the formation and propagation of coronal mass ejections to Earth,[5] as well as the response of the magnetospheric system, particularly the Earth's radiation belts.[6]
