Meet the Team: Princeton University 's Chuanfei Dong is joining the VEXAG steering committee! Welcome to the team!

Congrats 🎉 BU Astronomy Dept's Chuanfei Dong is among 93 scientists selected by U.S. Department of Energy for its Early Career Research Program. The 🏆 comes with $875,000 in grant funding which Dong will use to further his work on the flow of energy in plasma turbulence. ➡️ spr.ly/6001PlzGJ

When you look up at stars, you might not think "what beautiful balls of plasma" - but that's what they are. With an Early Career award, Chuanfei Dong Boston University will study how magnetic field lines break & reconnect in plasma, which triggers solar flares: bu.edu/articles/2023/…

Congrats Chuanfei Dong BU Arts & Sciences for receiving the HPC_Hyperion Innovation Excellence Award for his project, “Reconnection-Driven Energy Cascade in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence,” where he challenges the classical paradigm of turbulent energy cascade. Read: bu.edu/hic/2023/11/27…

Congratulations to these three Boston University scholars who have been awarded the prestigious 2024 Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship, recognizing their innovative work in areas such as lung disease, mosquito behavior, and solar phenomena. #SloanFellow

"There is one eternal question in astronomy: Are we alone in the universe?" BU Arts & Sciences's Chuanfei Dong, lead PI at Boston University for the #Mauve mission, delves into this rare opportunity to analyze the ⭐️'s and their impact on neighboring exoplanets. Q&A ➡️ spr.ly/6002dReqm
