Steven Cranmer

Steve is an associate professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. His scientific interests include the heating of the extended outer atmosphere of the Sun (the solar corona) and other stars, the acceleration of stellar winds, theoretical plasma physics, and the dynamical atmospheres of hot, pulsating, and rapidly rotating stars. Steve worked for years as a member of the UVCS (Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer) team and is looking forward to new ground- and space-based missions such as DKIST, Parker Solar Probe, and Solar Orbiter.
