Divertor physicsBiography
I am a PhD candidate in plasma physics at EPFL advised by Prof. Christian Theiler. I study alternative divertor configurations on the TCV tokamak, where the intense exhaust power from tokamak plasmas may be efficiently dissipated to protect the plasma-facing components.- TCV Langmuir probe diagnostic specialist, responsible officer for the Reciprocating Divertor Probe Array (RDPA) system
- Scientific collaborator of the EUROfusion Tokamak Exploitation programme, focusing on "RT-07: Physics understanding of alternative divertor configurations as risk mitigation for DEMO"
- Teaching assistant for a graduate level plasma physics course PHYS-423 Plasma I
- Selected participant of the JT-60SA International Fusion School
Prior to EPFL, I read for a BA in Physics and MMathPhys in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics at St Hilda's College, University of Oxford. I was born and raised in Hong Kong.
