He became increasingly interested in turbulence in fusion facilities in the late 1980s and has made that the focus of most of his career. (pppl.gov)
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have for the first time simulated the formation of structures called «plasmoids» during Coaxial Helicity Injection (CHI), a process that could simplify the design of fusion facilities known as tokamaks.

«I already see that major fusion facilities in the United States, as well as international tokamaks, are embarking on experiments that are ideal validation tools for theory and simulation,» he said. (pppl.gov)
