Summary
I am a postgraduate researcher at the Centre for Intertial Fusion Studies (CIFS), Imperial College London. My research involves magneto-hydrodynamic modelling of the stagnation phase of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions. In particular, I am looking at both magnetic fields being spontaneously generated in ICF hot-spots and the effect of applying magnetic fields to regular target designs.
