Alex Tinguely is a Research Scientist at MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center. He primarily studies energetic particle physics in the SPARC and JET tokamaks: interactions of fast ions and alpha particles with Alfvén Eigenmodes and MHD; disruptions, generation and mitigation of runaway electrons; diagnosis of fusion neutrons, ions, hard x-rays, and gammas; diagnostic design and prototyping for SPARC.
Bachelor of Science, Physics and Mathematics, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, 2014
PhD, Plasma Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, 2019
