Julius Kiewel

Master's Student

About:
Julius Kiewel is a Masters Student in the Fusion Plasma Auxiliaries and Characterization (FPAC) lab. They hold a Bachelors in Physics and Mathematics from William & Mary. Their academic focus betrays an interest in fusion plasmas and characterization of electrodynamic turbulence and plasma waves.

Research Interests:
Julius’ research focus is in the area of plasma characterization. Driven by a desire to harness the enormous clean energy potential of fusion energy, he entered the field of plasma physics, with a particular focus on plasma turbulence and transport. Through his research he aims to better understand plasma and plasma controls for the purpose of nuclear fusion.

Current Projects:
Julius is currently working on the characterization of a radio frequency inductively coupled plasma. His work is part of an effort to improve the neutral beam injectors of the DIII-D Tokamak device.

Outside the Lab:
When not doing work, Julius is an avid runner and reader. He also helps to tutor students in physics and mathematics.
