Research interests
Computational plasma physics; Machine learning
I am currently working on using machine learning to reconstruct magnetic/kinetic equilibrium in tokamaks. Meanwhile, I also work on particle simulation of tokamak turbulence, the interaction of energetic particles and MHD modes, and noninductive current drive. I love programming (primarily in Python and Fortran). Some codes I developed can be found here
