Fusion: How to Put the Sun in a Magnetic Bottle - with Ian Chapman
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 8 Ιουν 2016
Fusion
energy has the potential to be one of the most important scientific
breakthroughs. Physicist Ian Chapman explores the challenges in nuclear
fusion and explains how the international ITER project hopes to
demonstrate that fusion energy can be realised here on Earth.

Ian
Chapman received his MSc in Mathematics and Physics from Durham
University in 2004 and his PhD in plasma physics from Imperial College
London in 2008. He joined Culham Centre for Fusion Energy in 2004,
rising to become the Head of Tokamak Science in 2014. He now leads a
team of 100 scientists in both experimental plasma physics, primarily on
MAST and JET but also collaborating worldwide on other fusion
facilities, and theory and modelling research. Before that, from
2010-2014 he led the Stability programme within Tokamak Science.
His
research has been recognised with a number of international awards,
including the European Physical Society Early Career Prize in 2014, the
Institute of Physics Paterson Medal (Best Early Career Physicist in
Applied Physics) in 2013, the IUPAP Plasma Physics Young Scientist Prize
in 2012 and the Cavendish Medal for Best early-career UK physicist
awarded by SET for Britain in 2011.
