simulations of lower hybrid waves.
Movie from Invited talk at 21st ICNSP in Lisbon: First 3D full wave simulation
of lower hybrid waves.
Invited talk at the 18th RF Topical Conference in Gent:Self-consistent full wave simulations of
lower hybrid waves
Invited paper from proceedings of the
18th RF Topical Conference in Gent:Self-consistent full wave
simulations of lower hybrid waves
Invited paper from talk at the 2008
APS-DPP meeting:Wright, PoP 2009 "An assessment of full wave effects on the propagation and absorption
of lower hybrid waves"
N.B. This paper corrects errors that were
present in the talk itself. The paper was selected for the cover
image in the July 2009 issue of Physics of Plasmas.

Current Research Topic
I am presently studying mode conversion of Ion Cyclotron Waves
and the propogation of Lower Hybrid waves in toroidal geometry with
the full-wave parallel code, TORIC. Also, I'm interested in data
representations for code input and validation.
Interests & Hobbies
XML for code input and validation.
