Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London, U.K.
Ph.D., Plasma Physics, Measurement of Electron Density on JET by Microwave Reflectometry

Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario
B.Sc. (1st Class Hons.), Mathematics and Engineering. Specialization: Heat transfer and fluid mechanics.

Transport barriers; mm-wave diagnostics; integrated fusion scenarios.

Alcator C-Mod: Long time team member responsible for electron cyclotron emission diagnostics, which measure electron temperatures. Research interests focus on edge transport barriers (H-mode and new I-mode regime) and on integration of boundary solutions with core scenarios.

U.S. Burning Plasma Organization: Deputy Director. Mission of USBPO is to “Advance the scientific understanding of burning plasmas and ensure the greatest benefit from a burning plasma experiment by coordinating relevant U.S. fusion research with broad community participation.”

ITER ECE diagnostic design: Lead investigator for MIT subcontract to Univ. Texas, responsible for software design.

International Collaborations: Engaged in research on EAST, aiming to develop I-mode scenario.
