My name is Caroline Evans and I鈥檓 joining the APS department for the 2023-2024 school year. My primary research interests lie in the intersection of theoretical and computational astrophysics. Currently, I am working on the coronal loop heating problem via modeling and analysis of the magnetohydrodynamics of the solar corona.聽My previous work has spanned the stellar lifetime from molecular clouds to core-collapse supernovae. But, my research at CU builds on the coronal loop heating work I did at the joint NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and University of Alabama in Huntsville heliophysics REU.
When I can, I enjoy teaching and communicating about physics and our universe with the wider community. In my free time, I like to play the trumpet, bake, and explore local coffee shops.聽
