About

I’m a graduate student at the MIT Plasma Science & Fusion Center. I work under Dennis Whyte and Mike Short on the radiation tolerance of superconductors. We try to emulate fusion reactor conditions (field, temperature, particle bombardment) using protons, and eventually neutrons. My subgroup also includes David Fischer (Research Scientist) and Zoe L Fisher (Master soon PhD student).
