Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Kuhn is an international authority in solar physics, where he piloted a number of new research directions. His works on the foundations of helioseismology and understanding the shape of the sun are essential milestones in solar physics. He has discovered Rossby waves on the Sun and was the first to measure magnetic fields in the solar corona. Professor Kuhn is well known for his interdisciplinary and highly original contributions, also outside his primary field of research. During his stay in Germany, he intends to elaborate a novel dissipation mechanism of sunspots and work out its relation with the solar and stellar cycles. |
