Helical Fusion marks milestone in progress toward fusion power
Helical Fusion, a Japan-based fusion start-up that is developing a stellarator fusion power reactor, has announced it has successfully demonstrated its high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil under relevant magnetic conditions.
A video highlighting the stellarator’s technology testing can be found here.
26th Technology of Fusion Energy Meeting (TOFE 2024)
Carlos Paz-Soldan is an Associate Professor of Applied Physics in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University in the City of New York. He received his B.Sc.E degree in Engineering Physics from Queen’s University at Kingston in 2007 and his Ph.D degree in Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2012. After his Ph.D he worked as a scientist at General Atomics in San Diego until he was appointed with tenure to Columbia University in 2021. Carlos Paz-Soldan’s research interests are motivated by the desire to solve the scientific and technological challenges standing in the way of harnessing controlled fusion energy on earth. In particular, he is interested the control of transient off-normal events that can prevent the reliable operation of magnetic fusion device concepts. Dr. Paz-Soldan is the recipient of the Marshall N. Rosenbluth Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Prize in 2013 and the Thomas H. Stix Award for Outstanding Early Career Contributions to Plasma Physics Research in 2021, both from the American Physical Society.
