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

在加入Fusion CDT之前，我在利兹大学获得了机械工程硕士学位，并在赛车行业工作了两年。我的博士课题将集中在一种被称为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(从物理学家到电气工程师)的多样性。我将致力于创造第二代SAMI设备，它将能够成像聚变等离子体行为，这是以前从未捕捉到的。该设备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，用于当前和下一代核聚变机器。

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.
