Caitríona M. Jackman is an Irish space physicist. In 2021, she became the first female senior professor at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) Dunsink Observatory.[1] [2] [3] She has made important contributions to understanding the solar wind interactions with planetary magnetospheres.

Education and early life

Jackman gained a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Physics from the University of Limerick in 2003. She then completed a PhD in Planetary Physics at the University of Leicester in 2006 supervised by Stan Cowley.[4]

Career and research

After her PhD, Jackman undertook research roles at Imperial College London and University College London.[5] In 2013 she moved to the University of Southampton on lecturer and, later, associate professor roles.[6] In 2021 she was appointed senior professor and head of DIAS planetary magnetospheres group.[7]

Jackman's research focuses on the physics of planetary magnetospheres, primarily of the Earth and Jupiter.[8] She has made key discoveries about the response of the Earth and Jupiter magnetosphere systems to the changes in the solar wind,[9] in particular how the aurora works, and how machine learning and complexity science can be used to study huge volumes of data from space.[10] She is also involved in a number of outreach activities,[11] including Ireland's first space-themed escape room, designed to make space accessible to a wider audience.[12]
