I am a 3rd year PhD student at Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, in Ecole polytechnique, France. I work under the supervision of Özgür D. Gürcan and Nicolas Fedorczak. My thesis subject is Transport Modelling for Fusion Devices Using Reduced Models for Turbulence.
I am interested in turbulent transport in magnetised plasmas of tokamaks, and the self-organisation of turbulence into large-scale coherent structures, such as zonal flows.
I mainly use the Hasegawa-Wakatani system as the minimal, non-trivial plasma turbulence model, in order to understand zonal flows formation and build reduced model which account for their interaction with turbulence.
I also developed P-FLARE a pseudo-spectral code using the penalisation method in order to solve flux-driven reduced fluid systems for plasma turbulence.
