USING MICROWAVE BACK-SCATTERING TO DETERMINE THE STABILITY OF THE TOKAMAK PLASMA EDGE

在加入Fusion CDT之前，我完成了利兹大学机械工程学士学位，并在赛车行业工作了2年。我的博士课题将集中在被称为SAMI（合成孔径微波成像）的微波成像设备上。SAMI是一个出色的设备，它展示了实现可持续聚变能源生产所需的学科多样性（从物理学家到电气工程师）。我将致力于创建第二代SAMI设备，该设备将能够成像以前从未捕获过的聚变等离子体行为。该装置将允许对假设进行测试，并将为科学家提供一种新的诊断技术，用于当前和下一代的聚变机器。

Before joining the Fusion CDT, I completed an MEng degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Leeds and had worked in the motor racing industry for 2 years. My PhD topic will focus on a microwave imaging device known as SAMI (Synthetic Aperture Microwave Imaging). SAMI is an excellent device that showcases the diversity in disciplines (from physicists to electrical engineers) required to achieve sustainable fusion energy production.I will be working on creating a second generation SAMI device that will be able to image fusion plasma behaviour that has never before been captured. The device will allow hypotheses to be tested and will provide a new diagnostic technique for scientists to use in the current and next generation of fusion machines.
