Presenter

Dr. Noah Mandell is a DOE Fusion Energy Sciences postdoctoral fellow at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, working with Nuno Loureiro's group. He received his Bachelors degree in Physics from University of Maryland - College Park (2014) and his PhD in Astrophysical Sciences (Plasma Physics) from Princeton University (2021). His research interests primarily focus on modeling turbulent transport in fusion devices. His PhD dissertation, advised by Greg Hammett, focused on electromagnetic gyrokinetic modeling of the tokamak scrape-off layer. As an undergraduate, he worked with Bill Dorland on gyrofluid and gyrokinetic modeling of turbulence in the core of tokamaks. Noah is one of the primary developers of the gyrokinetic codes Gkeyll and GX.
