Lucinda "Lucie" May Green (born c. 1975) is a British science communicator and solar physicist. Green is a Professor of Physics and a Royal Society University Research Fellow (previously the Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow) at Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL) of the University College London (UCL). Green runs MSSL's public engagement programme and sits on the board of the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) of the European Physical Society and the advisory board of the Science Museum. In 2013, Green became the first ever female presenter of The Sky at Night following the death of Sir Patrick Moore. Green's research focuses primarily on the atmospheric activities of the Sun, particularly coronal mass ejections and the changes in the Sun's magnetic field which triggers them. Early life and education Green attended Dame Alice Harpur School in Bedfordshire, gaining 9 GCSEs and 4 A-levels. After school she initially studied art, before deciding later to study physics. She graduated with a 2:1 Master of Physics degree in physics with astrophysics from the University of Sussex. In 2002, Green completed her PhD in solar physics at the MSSL, University College Lonon. She returns to her school to discuss her research. Fiona Clements, Green's former physics teacher at the school, has said, “She is a great advocate for young women in science and we are proud that she continues to remember the school by returning to talk about her research to pupils." "I always liked physics from an early age while I was at school. That was my passion: problem-solving or asking questions and then finding out ways of answering those questions. But I never had a burning ambition of being a space scientist, and I wasn’t even into amateur astronomy [at that time]." Career After gaining her PhD, she moved to Cardiff University's School of Physics and Astronomy and became the Project Co-ordinator of the Faulkes Telescope Project. The project enables schools to have remote use of two two-metre class telescopes located in Hawaii (Faulkes Telescope North in Hawaii) and Australia (Faulkes Telescope South in Australia). Green is a Professor of Physics and a Leverhulme Research Fellow (previously the Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow), at MSSL. Her current work focuses on the pattern of magnetic fields in the Sun's atmosphere, which sporadically erupt to form a coronal mass ejection; how these relate to geomagnetic activity and what this means for those living on
