}}Philippa K. Browning {{post-nominals|country=GBR|FInstP}} is a Professor of Astrophysics in the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics at the University of Manchester.[3] She specialises in the mathematical modelling of fusion plasmas.[4]

Early life and education

Browning was educated at Millfield[1] and studied the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge, graduating in 1979.[2] She completed Part III of the Mathematical Tripos in 1980.[3] She was inspired by Yuri Gagarin to work in astrophysics.[4][5] For her graduate studies Browning joined the University of St Andrews working with Eric Priest.[6][7] She submitted her thesis on Inhomogeneous Magnetic Fields in the Solar Atmosphere in 1984.[8]

Research and career

After completing her PhD Browning worked as a postdoctoral researcher with Eric Priest.[6] She studied coronal loops, finding they were a balance of magnetic tension forces, buoyancy and pressure gradients.[9] Her work covered the fundamentals of flux tubes.[10] Browning was appointed a lecturer at University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in 1985.{{citation needed|date=September 2018}} She joined the University of Manchester in 2004, where she works on the interactions between plasmas and magnetic fields.[11] She is particularly interested in solar flares.[12][13][14] In 2009, Browning was promoted to professor at the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics.[15] She served as editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research from 2010 to 2013.[16] She contributed to the book Multi-scale Dynamical Processes in Space and Astrophysical Plasmas.[17] She continues to study coronal heating.[18][19]

In 2013 Browning was made chair of the Institute of Physics Plasma Physics Committee and the Solar Physics Council.[20] Through the Solar Physics Council, Browning is a mentor for young solar physicists.[21] In 2014 Browning arranged two-day meeting to discuss coronal heating at the Royal Society.[22]

{{As of|2018}} Browning is working on the Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe.[4] Browning has appeared at the Bluedot Festival. She discussed her work on solar flares and their interaction with the earth.[23] She has taken part in the Manchester Science Festival.[24] Browning serves on the Institute of Physics Women in Physics advisory panel.[25]

Awards and honours

Browning was awarded the Chapman Medal by the Royal Astronomical Society in 2016.[26][27] The medal recognised her "pioneering work on energy release by magnetic relaxation in stressed coronal magnetic fields".[28] In 2017 she was awarded a Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) research grant to explore particle acceleration in twisted magnetic fields.[29] She was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Physics (FInstP).{{when|date=September 2018}}
