In addition, he is a Distinguished Professor at the Kyung Hee University in Korea. He is the editor-in-chief of the ''Living Reviews in Solar Physics'', an exclusively web-based, peer-reviewed journal, publishing reviews of research in all areas of solar and heliospheric physics. ''Living Reviews in Solar Physics'' was recently rated with an impact factor of ''13.833'' taking the third place in the "Astronomy & Astrophysics" category. Solanki's main topics of research are: * Solar and heliospheric physics, in particular solar magnetism and Sun-Earth relations * Stellar astrophysics, mainly stellar activity and magnetism * Astronomical tests of theories of gravitation * Atomic and molecular physics of astronomical interest * Protoplanetary discs and extrasolar planets * Radiative transfer of polarised light He has also held these positions: (1) Vice-Chairman and member of the Senate Committee of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR); (2) Member Appointment Committee and Committee of Three of the DLR; (3) Member Extraterrestrial Program Committee of the DLR; (4) Science Advisory Committee of the High Altitude Observatory, Boulder/USA; (5) Science Advisory Board at the Istituto Ricerche Solari (IRSOL), Locarno/Switzerland;〔(Organizational Profile ) at the Max Planck Society website〕 and has contributed to the following space/balloon projects: * Sunrise (PI) * SOHO Virgo (Co-I) * STEREO Secchi (Co-I) * SDO HMI (Co-I)〔The (Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) ), led from Stanford University in Stanford, CA, studies solar variability and characterizes the Sun's interior and the various components of magnetic activity. 〕 * Solar Orbiter PHI (PI)〔The (Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) ), led from Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany, a proposed instrument for the Solar Orbiter mission referencing the Visible-light Imager and Magnetograph. 〕 ==Academic career== * 1987 Doctorate from the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich〔(short bio )〕 * 1987–1989 Post doc in St. Andrews, Scotland. * 1992 Habilitation * 1998 Professor of Astronomy at the University of Oulu in Finland * 1999 Minnaert guest professor at the University of Utrecht * 1999 Director of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sami Solanki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
