Moritz Heimpel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Alberta, specializing in the dynamics of planetary interiors. His research predominantly involves theoretical and numerical modeling of fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics as applied to planetary atmospheres and interiors. Heimpel's work focuses on planetary dynamos and their implications for the dynamical evolution of solar system planets, particularly Mercury, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and exoplanets. He has contributed to various significant publications in the field, addressing topics such as the scaling of zonal flow in rapidly-rotating compressible convection and the relationship between geomagnetic dipole reversals and Earth's cooling history.
