Silja Pohjolainen (Adjunct Prof., university lecturer) teaches Astronomy and Solar Physics at the department. She has supervised the PhD thesis work of Niina Lehtinen and the Master's thesis work of Jani Achren. She is interested in coronal shock waves, mass ejections, and flares. (Silja's Homepage) |

Esko Valtaoja (Prof.) is doing solar research part time. Besides teaching and investigating black holes, he is promoting new solar instrumentation and instructing PhD students. |
|
|
Alexander Riehokainen (research fellow) did his PhD thesis on radio bright regions and is now heading for new subjects. He is especially interested in solar oscillations. |
|

Kaj Wiik (research fellow, Dr. Tech.) is an expert in VLBI and radio instrumentation. He also knows about Linux and Perl, and finds out what to do when we say 'this solar software is not working....'. But we can only use him part time. |

Niina Lehtinen
(Finnish Graduate School in Astronomy and Space Physics) did multi-wavelength
analysis of solar eruptions as her PhD thesis work supervised by Silja. She
defended her thesis on August 8, 2007 at the Physics Department, University
of Turku. She is now working in industry. |

|
Jani Achrén finished his M.Sc. thesis in July 2007. In his thesis he summarised the various emission mechanisms that can be identified in solar radiation, and wrote a computer code for analysing the output from using different parameters. He has since moved to Japan. |
