Souvik Bose is an Indian research scientist, astrophysicist, and electronics engineer who works at Lockheed Martin Solar & Astrophysics Lab, in Palo Alto, California, in collaboration with NASA Ames Research Center. He is known for his work on Solar moss[1] which was discovered by NASA's TRACE spacecraft in 1999, appearing as sponge-like patches in extreme ultraviolet light in the Sun's atmosphere. He is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.[2][3][4]
Academic career
Souvik was born on 9 January 1991 in Guwahati, Assam, India. After completing his schooling in Alipurduar, he began studying Electronics & Communication Engineering at the UIT Burdwan in 2010.[5] He completed his Bachelor of Engineering degree with first-class honours in 2014 and commenced post-graduate studies at IIA Bangalore, where he obtained his M.Tech in Astronomical Instrumentation and Solar Physics. His master's thesis was titled High Precision full Stokes Spectropolarimetry of the Sun-as-a-Star: Instrument Design Aspects[6]. In 2017, he was awarded the opportunity to pursue a doctorate in Astrophysics at University of Oslo. He completed his Ph.D. in 2021.[7][8]
Scientific career
His work on solar spicules has provided significant insights into the multi-thermal nature of spicular downflows. This research contributes to resolving the long-standing challenge of the coronal heating problem, a central question in solar physics.[9]. Bose’s research integrates data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory(SDO) and other ground-based facilities to explore the behaviour and properties of the solar chromosphere and transition region.[10][11]
In his work with NASA’s Ames Research Center and Lockheed Martin, Bose has focused on developing models to simulate solar atmospheric dynamics. His studies on solar spicules have enhanced our understanding of solar wind origins, particularly the dynamics of spicules, which contribute to the mass and energy flux of the solar corona.[12][13][14]
He has contributed to solar physics by applying machine learning techniques to improve data analysis methods, such as using U-Net[15][16] to create virtual observations of the solar corona.[17] [18]. His innovations have helped reduce the telemetry needs of solar missions such as SDO and extended the capabilities of future heliophysics missions.[19] [20]
