Congratulations to Dr. Florian Laggner, Assistant Professor at NC State Department of Nuclear Engineering, one of the 40 under 40 list of the American Nuclear Society.

The list recognizes the up-and-coming generation, ANS is celebrating talented young professionals who are making great strides in every sector of the industry.

Dr. Laggner is working on high temperature plasmas in magnetic confinement fusion devices, called tokamaks. He is an expert in plasma edge physics and plasma diagnostics. His research focuses on the H-mode pedestal with a particular emphasis on the pedestal profile structure, its stability and the ionization source of neutral particles that enter the confined plasma. Moreover, Dr. Laggner is interested in developing and characterizing technological solutions for auxiliary systems such as plasma diagnostics that can sustain the harsh environment of a fusion pilot plant.
