About

Manuela Temmer is since 2016 Associate Professor and head of the Heliospheric Research Group (swe.uni-graz.at) at UNI Graz. After finishing her PhD studies in 2004 at UNI Graz, several self-funded research projects (FWF Erwin Schrödinger and Elise Richter fellowship, ÖAW APART scholarship) supported her post-doc stays at the Hvar Observatory of the University of Zagreb (Croatia), the Space Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory in Palo Alto (USA). In 2019 she was shortlisted for the “Stanford University Distinguished Visiting Austrian Chair Professorship”. In 2024 she was nominated for the position of Director of the Department of Solar and Heliospheric Research at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Göttingen.

Her research focus lies in solar and heliospheric physics, with application to the impact of solar activity on Earth as well as human and robotic explorers across the solar system (Space Weather). She works toward understanding the physics behind the dynamic processes and interrelations between flares, coronal mass ejections, and solar wind structures in interplanetary space. Besides working in an interdisciplinary field across several physics domains, of current major interest is the validation and improvement of state-of-the-art Space Weather models by using remote sensing image data and in-situ measurements from multiple viewpoints.
