DrCollin Phillips

Collin Phillips is a senior lecturer in the Mathematics Learning Centre. He is interested in Astrophysics and Geophysics: in particular the evolution the magnetic fields of the Sun, stars the Earth and planets. His work includes modelling the interaction of the electrically conducting plasma of stars with the rapidly evolving magnetic fields as well as investigating the interaction of the electrically conducting molten outer and inner core of the Earth with the evolving magnetic field of the Earth. This interest informs learning and teaching research into understanding the mathematical modelling process.
