Student Research Awards - Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference
- Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA (United States); MIT
Student research awards were given for outstanding student presentations at the Annual International Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference, held May 1-3rd 2017 in Annapolis, MD. The goal of controlled thermonuclear fusion research is to develop a safe, environmentally benign, and essentially inexhaustible source of energy for the future. The Annual International Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference is organized for educational and scientific purposes in support of fusion energy and plasma physics research. Specifically, the objective of the Annual Conference shall be the communication of recent results in the physics of controlled fusion energy. This conference is conducted in accordance with the International Council of Scientific Unions guidelines on free circulation of scientists. Papers are solicited on the following topics for the International Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference: Plasma Properties, Equilibrium, Stability, and Transport; Physics of Plasma Edge and Divertor Region; Plasma Production and Heating; Computer Simulation of Plasmas. Student research awards at Sherwood serve several purposes. First, student research awards generally help recruit and retain top students in fusion energy sciences, because they highlight excellence in research and help to develop the CVs of young scientists. Second, the Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference has a long history of student research awards, and continuing this tradition helps to maintain the integrity and impact of past awards. Third, research awards in theory are especially important because they highlight not only individual students, but the entire theory field in fusion energy sciences.
