Dr. Fang Fang is an Post Doc I in the High Altitude Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. She studies the emergence of magnetic fields from the convection zone into the corona by numerical simulations. Her research interest is in the formation of magnetic structures of different scales at the photosphere, interaction of the solar interior plasma and the emerging magnetic fields and the initializing mechanism of the solar eruptive events and the buildup of free energy in the corona.
