Undergraduate students in the plasma lab presented their work in the inaugural poster symposium.
The Columbia Engineering Plasma Physics program in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics (APAM) held an inaugural summer student poster symposium on August 11, 2023.
This summer, 14 summer undergraduate and masters students carried out projects in the Plasma Physics group. These students presented their work in a poster symposium format at the end of the summer, which was well attended by the plasma and broader APAM community. The students discussed their research with peers and gained valuable experience in preparing and giving presentations.
Anonymous judges visited the posters and spoke with the students. A best poster prize was awarded to Somin Lee and Xueyi Bu for their poster entitled “Improving performance of energetic particle integration”.
Students presenting posters included:
Mohammed Haque: “Strain optimization of CSX prototype coil design”
Vikram Ailiani: “Analyzing CAKE performance across multiple 0D and 1D profile features”
Kalen Richardson: “Columbia Stellarator Experiment”
Sebastian Gomez: “Automated Production of Cryogenic Pellets in the PAC Experiment”
Arian Timm: “Summer Tale’s From the Tokamak”
John Labbate: “Analyzing mode stability to identify stable operating regions for the novel SMART tokamak”
Alissa Sherbatov: “Development of Toroidal Field Supports for CUTE”
Jacobo Lang: “Pellets @ Columbia Summer 2023”
Sander Miller: “Python Script for Translation of Mesh Files from VALEN to ThinCurr”
Siwanta Thapa: “Coil optimization using Boozer surface approach”
Somin Lee and Xueyi Bu: “Improving performance of energetic particle integration”
The event was such a success that we are already planning the second annual symposium next year!
