Welcome from the Chair
The Solar & Stellar Seismology Forum: Waves in Space Plasmas is a community-driven initiative dedicated to fostering open discussion and collaboration in the study of waves and oscillatory phenomena in the solar and stellar plasma environment. The Forum aims to provide an inclusive and accessible platform for researchers across institutions, career stages, and related disciplines to exchange ideas, share new results, and explore emerging challenges in the study of waves in space plasmas.
Built on strong community interest and broad international participation, the Forum will feature a combination of traditional research talks with extended discussion, methods-focused and tutorial-style sessions, and dedicated early-career spotlight presentations. The goal is to encourage scientific dialogue, constructive debate, and the development of new collaborations within a friendly and supportive environment.
We warmly invite you to join us in shaping this platform and contributing to a vibrant and collaborative space for solar–stellar seismology research.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Forum.
Date: 16 July 2026
Time: 3:00 pm CEST | 9:00 am EDT

Event Chair
Giuseppe Nisticò has been an Associate Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Calabria since 2023. He received his PhD in Physics of Complex Systems from the same university in 2011 and has conducted postdoctoral research in Germany and the United Kingdom. His scientific activity focuses on solar and coronal physics, including the study of coronal jets, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves, plasma turbulence, and coronal seismology. These topics are addressed through observational approaches—using data from space missions such as SoHO, STEREO, SDO, PSP, and SolO—as well as theoretical models and three-dimensional simulations. He has authored over 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals, and his work has received over 1,800 citations. Awards received include the Rita Levi Montalcini Research Fellowship, a COSPAR Committee Award, and the NASA Group Achievement Award given to the Parker Solar Probe team.
