Ineke De Moortel FRAS FRSE is a Belgian applied mathematician in Scotland, where she is a professor of applied mathematics at the University of St Andrews, director of research in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at St Andrews,[1] and president of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society.[2] Her research concerns the computational and mathematical modelling of solar physics, and particularly of the sun's corona.[1][3]
Education and career
De Moortel earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1997 at KU Leuven.[4] She completed a Ph.D. in solar physics in 2001 at the University of St Andrews; her dissertation, Theoretical & Observational Aspects of Wave Propagation in the Solar Corona, was supervised by Alan Hood. She remained at St Andrews as a postdoctoral researcher and research fellow, becoming a reader there in 2008 and a professor in 2013.[4]
Recognition
In 2005, De Moortel became a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.[4] In 2009 she won the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Astronomy and Astrophysics.[5] She was elected to the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2015, and previously co-chaired its affiliate society, the Young Academy of Scotland.[3]
