Catherine Krafft becomes a Senior Fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF)
All the versions of this article: [English] [français]
Catherine Krafft, Professor at the Paris-Saclay University and member of the "Space Plasmas" team of LPP, has been appointed to the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) as a Senior Fellow.
C. Krafft studies nonlinear and turbulent phenomena in astrophysical plasmas, wave radiation by charged particle beams, as well as wave-wave and wave-particle interaction processes in space magnetized and inhomogeneous plasmas. Her work focuses on the development of theoretical models and numerical codes by using new approaches, for solving fundamental plasma physics problems and interpret space observations. In recent years, she has also invested in high-performance computing to study the physical processes responsible for solar radio bursts.
Created in 1991, the Institut Universitaire de France is an organization "without walls", guaranteeing its members autonomy and freedom. It constitutes a continually renewed network of academic excellence throughout France.
The IUF’s mission is to encourage the development of high-level research in universities by recognizing the scientific activity of teacher-researchers. Members of the IUF continue to teach at their home university, with an adapted timetable, and benefit from specific research credits.
