Though I do not yet have my own research group, I am directly involved in the mentorship of many young scientists. These include:
2023 - Jake Halpern Assessment of magneto-hydrodynamic stability in negative triangularity on the DIII-D tokamak
2021 - Haley Wilson Modeling of core plasma turbulence in negative triangularity tokamak scenarios
2024 - Kate Krogen Assessment of edge profile variation using CAKE
2024 - Thomas Wang Development of physics modules for the CFSPOPCON code
2024 - Aaroosh Ramadorai Development of physics modules for the CFSPOPCON code
2023 - Sophia Guizzo (now a graduate student at Columbia) Studies of vertical stability for negative triangularity tokamak power plants
2023 - Vikram Ailiani Studies of magnetic equilibrium reconstruction techniques for tokamaks
2023 - Alexa Lachmann (now a graduate student at Columbia) Pythonic conversion of the FEEQS code
for the OpenFUSION Toolkit
2022 - Lucia Rondini (now a graduate student at Columbia) Assessment of bounce-orbit trajectories for negative triangularity shapes
2022 - Daniel Burgess (now a graduate student at Columbia) Studies of inherently non-ELMing tokamak scenarios
2021 - Samuel Freiberger (now a graduate student at Columbia) Assessment of machine capabilities to create negative triangularity shapes on the MAST-U tokamak
2021 - Samantha O'Sullivan (now a graduate student at Oxford) Correlations between neutral beam injection blips and ELM triggers in tokamaks
2021 - Javier Morales-Arias (now a graduate student at Princeton) Modeling of lithium exposures to plasma discharges
2023 - Sam Benson Description of plasma radiation processes
It takes a village to raise a fusion scientist. Because of this, in addition to the direct mentees listed above, I try to help as many students as possible from many different groups in their career paths. Some of this includes indirect individual mentoring, but I also work to improve plasma education on a broader national level, as detailed on my outreach page.
