Hello. I’m a plasma physicist working in nuclear fusion. I’m based at the York Plasma Institute at the University of York, UK. I’m helping to design the heating and current-drive system for the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP).
Before that, I did my PhD at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT. Through theory and modeling, I studied the effect of turbulent scattering during lower hybrid current drive. I was able to explain some long-puzzling experimental data from the Alcator C-Mod tokamak.
See my Google Scholar page for my work.
