Bio
Gary is a Distinguished R&D Scientist and the Group Leader for Plasma Theory and Modeling Group. He is an expert in turbulence and transport in magnetically confined plasmas. He is the Co-Chair of the International Tokamak Physics Activity Transport and Confinement Topical Group that advises the ITER Tokamak project.
Gary was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2011 for his leadership role in developing the trapped gyro-Landau fluid equations and establishing that a quasilinear transport theory model based on these provides an accurate model of nonlinear gyrokinetic turbulence simulations, enabling large dataset validation of gyrokinetic transport against experiment.
