Lead diagnostic physicist responsible for the laser based plasma diagnostic systems on the SPARC tokamak (Interferometry and Thomson scattering) at CFS.

Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada

Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States

Prague, The Capital, Czech Republic

Leading plasma physics / plasma diagnostics for the LUIS Beam line, within ELI-Beamlines. The LUIS Beam line is a laser-plasma driven undulator X-ray source, a stepping stone to a laser plasma wake-field driven Free Electron Laser (FEL).

Lausanne Area, Switzerland

Focus on laser based plasma diagnostic (Thomson Scattering) design, opperation, and analysis on the Tokamak TCV.

Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands

PhD researcher focused Thomson scattering with work consisting of: The correction to the calibration of the JET Tokamak core LIDAR Thomson scattering diagnostic through ray tracing analysis, optical and spectrometer design work for the MAST-Upgrade divertor Thomson scattering system. In addition, an examination using Thomson scattering into the impact of edge instabilities and impact this mitigation has on the plasma edge as well as confinement performance.More simply put: Nuclear fusion energy research focused on laser based plasma diagnostic systems.
