Profile Photo

Dr. David Long is an Assistant Professor in Solar Physics in the School of Physical Sciences at Dublin City University. He received his PhD from Trinity College Dublin, before moving to University College London as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. At UCL, he was an Early-Career Leverhulme Fellow, an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow, and became a Lecturer in Solar Physics there in 2019. He was the UK Principle Investigator for the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) onboard the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission from 2020 until 2022. He moved to Queens University Belfast in 2023 as an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow before starting at DCU in 2024.

Dr. Long's research focusses primarily on the initiation and early evolution of solar eruptive events, primarily using observations in the optical, ultraviolet, X-ray, and radio wavelength bands. He is also interested in the evolution of elemental abundance in the solar atmosphere using extreme ultraviolet spectral diagnostics.
