Eric Hollmann, research scientist in the Center for Energy Research,
has been selected by Fusion Power Associates Board of Directors to
receive its 2013 Excellence in Fusion Engineering Award. The Award will
be presented at Fusion Power Associates annual meeting and symposium,
December 10-11 in Washington, DC.
In selecting Dr. Hollmann, the FPA Board recognizes his technical
contributions to understanding and mitigating disruption events in
tokamak devices - a critical feasibility requirement for tokamak-based
fusion power plants, his leadership of experiments in this regard on the
DIII-D experiment at General Atomics, and his many other contributions
to fusion research.
Fusion Power Associates Excellence in Fusion Engineering Awards,
established in 1987 in memory of MIT professor David J. Rose, have been
given annually since that time to individuals who have shown both
technical accomplishment and the potential to become exceptionally
influential leaders in the fusion field. A list of previous recipients
and other information related to Fusion Power Associates
