Stellar Structure and Magnetic Fields, Spectro-Polarimetry
Gregg Wade's research is aimed mainly at understanding magnetic fields in stars: how they are structured, how they influence the stellar plasma in which they are embedded, how they evolve, and where they came from in the first place. His approach is primarily observational, exploiting powerful telescopes and spectropolarimetric instrumentation at observatories around the world.
