Research and publications

My phd. research focuses on controlling instabilities in nuclear fusion plasmas. More generally I am interested in nonlinear dynamics of interacting processes. Especially phenomena like entrainment/locking and synchronization are useful to analyse certain oscillations in fusion plasmas.

My major publications so far are:
