About:
Arthur is currently a second year Ph.D student in FPAC Lab. Prior to beginning his Ph.D at NC State, Arthur completed his undergraduate degree in Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Through previous roles working with the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and academic research at the University of Illinois, Arthur has been actively engaged with both the public and private sectors of fusion.

Research Interests:
Arthur’s current research involves investigating the physics of inductively coupled plasma ion sources for neutral beam injectors. Arthur enjoys studying low temperature plasmas and their   applications in the field of nuclear fusion, particle accelerators, microelectronics, and semiconductor manufacturing. 

Current Projects:
Arthur is currently performing research on LUPIN: a reduced-scale prototype inductively coupled ion source chamber. Arthur will engage with plasma diagnostics to experimentally investigate plasma parameters relevant for optimal ion source behavior, such as ion density and ion current.

Outside the Lab:
In his free time, Arthur is typically training for his next road race, reading books, or learning to create baked goods.
