Hamish Hay awarded STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship

Hamish’s project Tidal magnetohydrodynamics of water and metallic ocean worlds, will focus on understanding hidden oceans inside planets and moons. Hamish aims to develop self-consistent models linking tidal flows and magnetic fields, and to produce open-source tools to infer internal ocean dynamics and explore how tides may drive planetary magnetic fields. His 5-year £0.8M project will begin on 1 February 2027.
