Prof. Laurent Gizon


My research focuses on solar and stellar physics, with particular focus on oscillations, internal dynamics, magnetic activity, and dynamos. I am also interested in studying the solar origins of space weather. In the context of exoplanet research, my work includes the seismic characterization of planet-hosting stars. I am actively involved in several space missions, including SDO, PLATO, and VIGIL.
