Experience

Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics

• Germany
• Research
• 200 - 300 Employee

• • Jul 2017 - Present

  Gyrokinetic supercomputer simulations for advanced Tokamak regimes. Solved nonlinear systems in a parallel computing environment for advanced nuclear fusion regimes, motivated by the need for clean, sustainable, and abundant energy capable of replacing the fossil-fuel energy base load. In contrast to nuclear fission, nuclear fusion uses hydrogen isotopes instead of radioactive heavy-metal fuels.

• • 2018 - 2020

  During my time at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, I often communicated complex scientific ideas about nuclear fusion and plasma physics in English and German to the general public at open events and campus tours.

University of Michigan Industrial Assessment Center

• Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

• Energy Analyst

  • 2013 - 2015

  I wrote energy saving reports for companies located throughout Michigan and instructed student teammates to calculate energy estimates. The job required on-site electrical energy and thermal measurements of manufacturing facilities in Michigan. I was part of a team that was awarded Excellence in Applied Energy Engineering Research, by the US Department of Energy (DOE).
