Academic Achievements
- A new prediction model could improve the reliability of fusion power plants. Presented disruption research at the 2025 ITPA-MDC, TSDW, and MHDW meeting series. Joined the 2025 Eni Annual Meeting. Presented disruption research at the 2025 Joint Runaway Electron Modelling meeting.
Research Experience
- Focus areas include MHD and Stability Physics, Energetic Electrons, and AI-driven algorithms for disruption prediction and avoidance. The team plays a key role in SPARC Disruption Strategies and MHD Physics research, leading the development of the Runaway Electron Mitigation Coil (REMC) and contributing to several stability observers to be integrated into SPARC's pulse planning framework. Also contributes to ITER research by participating in several International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) Topical Groups.
