This career development grant, part of the European Union 6th Framework Program, is awarded to scientists who have shown an ability to carry out independent research early in their careers. This was awarded to carry out a large scale study of complexity in solar active region and predicting solar flares. The award specifically encourages career development.

As support scientist for the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) I was primarily involved in researching the breakthrough science results from this innovative mission. For the first time in solar physics, we can could observe from off the Sun-earth line and finally reconstruct the solar atmosphere fully in three spatial dimensions. In.

As a successful principal investigator of this highly competitive grant, I carried out independent research on predicting solar flares and studying X-ray emission from solar flares. I was a integral team member of several solar missions, including RHESSI and SoHO. In the field of space weather I started my ongoing position as a Max MIllennium Chief.

As part of the successful Solar Eclipse Coronal Imaging System (SECIS) grant I studied high cadence coronal images of the sun observed at the total solar eclipse in Zambia, 2001. This project contained a large public outreach component, teaching the relevant solar physics to the Zambian undergraduate students. I instigated a successful ground based solar.
