Emilia Kilpua (born November 18, 1977, in Oulu) is a Finnish space scientist. She is currently Professor of Space Physics at the University of Helsinki. [1]

Background and career

Kilpua was born and raised in Oulu, northern Finland, where auroras are commonplace in winter. She studied theoretical physics and mathematics at the University of Helsinki, followed by a Master's degree and PhD, with a thesis titled Interplanetary shocks, magnetic clouds and magnetospheric storms, which she completed in 2005. [2] She undertook a postdoctoral research associate post in the Space Sciences Laboratory at UC Berkeley. She moved back to Finland in 2008.

Scientific interests

Kilpua's primary research focus is space weather, particularly with an eye to improving forecasting. [3] [4] She has made advances in our understanding of the formation and propagation of coronal mass ejections to Earth, [5] as well as the response of the magnetospheric system, particularly the Earth's radiation belts. [6]
