Dr. Kai Yang is a solar physics researcher focused on the Sun's dynamic activity. His work investigates the mechanisms of coronal heating, the complex magnetic topology that structures the corona, and the instabilities that trigger solar and stellar flares.
Dr. Yang is currently working on using machine learning to enhance the process of solar spectropolarimetric inversion to reconstruct the 3D physical structure (temperature, magnetic field, velocity) of the solar atmosphere.
Not Just Aliens is the SETI Institute’s weekly series featuring scientists exploring astrobiology, heliophysics, planetary science, and more — expanding the search for life beyond Earth.
