Graduate Student
NW17-210
I am a graduate student in the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering studying fusion materials with particle accelerators. I am especially interested in the degradation of coated (super)conductors under irradiation. To emulate the irradiation conditions in the ARC magnets, my collaborators and I are installing a setup for cryogenic proton irradiation and in-situ transport current measurements at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center. Before MIT, I worked on MHz electron and ion temperature measurements of edge-localized modes on the COMPASS tokamak and helped the development of a new wall conditioning strategy for the TJ-II Stellarator, combining Li and B films. When I was young and fit, I earned a black belt in Taekwondo and played for the Costa Rican national rugby team!
