I have recently completed the MSc in fusion energy at York and after a long break from physics it was great to stretch my brain to learn plasma physics and in particular laser plasma physics. I discovered a great research community in the york plasma institute and had the privilege to do my masters thesis under Professor Chris Ridgers simulating laser stimulated magnetic fields in gas jets.Now as part of the Fusion CDT I will be working with Dr Chris Murphy on ICF relevant laser plasma interactions with exotic pulses. These exotic pulses are shaped to give orbital angular momentum to the wavefront which opens rich opportunities to study their effect on laser plasma instabilities and x-ray production from Laser-Wakefield electron acceleration. I will be using state of the art simulation tech simulation techniques alongside experiments at international laser facilities in order to better understand the potential benefits of these exotic pulses.

我最近在约克完成了聚变能理学硕士学位，在远离物理学很长一段时间后，我很高兴能够拓展我的大脑来学习等离子体物理学，特别是激光等离子体物理学。我在约克等离子体研究所发现了一个很棒的研究社区，并有幸在 Chris Ridgers 教授的指导下完成我的硕士论文，模拟气体射流中的激光刺激磁场。现在，作为 Fusion CDT 的一部分，我将与 Chris Murphy 博士一起研究 ICF相关的激光等离子体与奇异脉冲的相互作用。这些奇异的脉冲经过整形，可以为波前提供轨道角动量，这为研究它们对激光等离子体不稳定性和激光韦克菲尔德电子加速产生的 X 射线的影响提供了丰富的机会。我将使用最先进的模拟技术模拟技术以及国际激光设施的实验，以便更好地了解这些奇异脉冲的潜在好处。
