Curriculum Vitae

👨‍🔬Technical Experience 👨‍💻

Nuclear fusion researcher @ConsorzioRFX (Nov 2017 - Present)

Consorzio RFX is a scientific research laboratory focused in plasma physics and magnetic confinement fusion. It hosts the largest reversed field pinch (RFP) in the world, named RFX-mod. The experiments carried out in the last two decades provided new insight on the physical phenomena taking place in magnetically confined plasma dynamics. The laboratory is now working on a new upgraded experiment dubbed RFX-mod2.

• Topics in which I am involved: plasma equilibrium, tokamak operations,RFP operations, equilibrium optimization, macroscopic stability, plasma vertical position and shape control system, magnetic measurement system, wall forces ,data analysis
