Pulsed Power Physicist

Summary

Designs, fabricates, and tests electron-beam cathode systems and hibachi foil/anode structures, leading end-to-end experimental campaigns and balancing analytical and particle-in-cell/SPICE modeling with hands-on vacuum, high-voltage, and diagnostic work. Supports integration of cathode and beam transport systems into pulsed-power inertial fusion architectures to improve beam efficiency and energy deposition, advancing fusion as a clean, decarbonizing energy technology.
