Nuclear fusion holds the promise of providing clean, limitless energy for the future. To achieve sustained fusion reactions, superconducting magnets must create and maintain extreme magnetic fields for stable plasma confinement. Our research group is dedicated to designing high-performance HTS coils that can operate reliably under the intense radiation and thermal environments of a fusion reactor. We strive to develop the magnet technology necessary to make compact and commercially viable fusion energy a reality.

Modern power utilities are increasingly adopting HTS technology to enhance grid reliability through innovative transformers and fault current limiters. My research focuses on developing next-generation HTS fault limiters capable of responding within milliseconds to suppress surges of tens of thousands of amperes. By leveraging these nearly instantaneous response times, we aim to protect critical infrastructure and ensure the stability of increasingly complex power networks.
