Research ProfessorPh.D. Chicago, 1949
I am a theoretical plasma physicist with particular interest in the physics of magnetic confinement fusion devices. I have worked on linear and nonlinear instability theory, transport and wave properties of plasmas, and am also interested in most areas of primarily classical physics, including the physics of accelerators and free electron lasers. I now also do research at the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor Design Center (ITER).
