Research interests

My main interest is in magnetic confinement fusion research, a field in which I have been working as an experimental phycisist for the last 9 years. My current research focuses on the development of laser ablation cleaning as a means of cleaning diagnostic mirrors in situ. Before that I was responsible for the development and operation of the charge-exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS) diagnostic at the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST), the UK's national fusion experiment. This diagnostic is a tool that allows detailed measurements of ion temperature, plasma rotation speed and impurity density. MAST was the first tokamak to demonstrate supersonic rotation, reaching speeds of up to 350 km/s.
