项目摘要

I obtained my BSc degree in Physics from the University of Bath in 2017 and graduated from the University of St. Andrews with an MSc Degree in Astrophysics in 2018. I then spent the next three years working as an innovative solution engineer in the connected and autonomous mobility industry. To satisfy my growing interest in astrophysics, fusion technology and plasma physics, I decided to pursue a PhD at Fusion CDT.I have now started my PhD at the University of York under the supervision of Prof. Nigel Woolsey. My research focuses on understanding the fundamental physics behind hydrodynamic instabilities, turbulence and material mix as manifest in the matter at extreme conditions. These physical behaviours are observed and studied at enormously different scales extending from the implosion of a millimetre-sized inertial fusion fuel capsule to the explosion of a massive star.As part of my PhD project, we are currently collaborating with First Light Fusion Ltd. to design and perform an experiment to replicate supernova shock-cloud interactions in a laboratory scale by using their light gas gun facility. There are opportunities to propose similar ideas that use high energy laser in the UK and elsewhere. My studies aim to contribute to understanding the physics behind high energy density astrophysical and laboratory phenomena as well as developing reliable tools and techniques for measurements relevant to inertial confinement fusion.

我于 2017 年在巴斯大学获得物理学学士学位，并于 2018 年从圣安德鲁斯大学毕业，获得天体物理学硕士学位。接下来的三年里，我在互联和自主领域担任创新解决方案工程师移动出行行业。为了满足我对天体物理学、聚变技术和等离子体物理学日益增长的兴趣，我决定在 Fusion CDT 攻读博士学位。我现在在约克大学 Nigel Woolsey 教授的指导下开始攻读博士学位。我的研究重点是了解极端条件下物质中表现出的流体动力学不稳定性、湍流和材料混合背后的基础物理原理。这些物理行为在极其不同的尺度上进行观察和研究，从毫米级惯性聚变燃料舱的内爆到大质量恒星的爆炸。作为我的博士项目的一部分，我们目前正在与 First Light Fusion Ltd. 合作使用他们的轻气枪设施设计并进行实验，在实验室规模上复制超新星冲击云相互作用。在英国和其他地方有机会提出使用高能激光的类似想法。我的研究旨在有助于理解高能量密度天体物理和实验室现象背后的物理学，以及开发用于与惯性约束聚变相关的测量的可靠工具和技术。
