James' Page at UCSD
The wait is over!
At last I have a (somewhat) respectable
page.
In case you don't know me, I am a sixth year graduate student
at UCSD studying experimental plasma physics. I now have pages with lots
and lots (well a few anyway)
of pictures on topics like my friends
,family, electric guitar,
sailing the high seas, and yes, the usual
physics links. For now, all of my physics links are listed below, but this is not
the end, no! More is on the way. So, please check back again soon,
since this page is rapidly changing.
Later!
For those you cannot get enough, here is the latest draft
of my thesis in pdf format, enjoy!
Hey, want to see me with the beautifull Ms. Bodzon?
Just say Agnieszka !
Anybody know who this guy is??
Since 1996, I have been working on the CV experiment; first under the direction of Brian
Cluggish (now at Los Alamos), and now Fred Driscoll.
CV is a device for containing and studying a cryogenic pure electron plasma.
The purpose is to study transport properties and other interesting effects in a
temperature regime that is typically difficult to attain. Most recently, Brian
and I have conducted experiments on resonant particle heating and
thermal conduction in a pure electron plasma.
Or check out the MEDUSA Team at U.W. Madison.
MEDUSA is a table-top small aspect-ratio tokamak built almost entirely by students
(primarily undergrads). In the summer of 1994, I received a fellowship to go to Madison
and try to help these guys get MEDUSA to work. Although we didn't
have much success that summer, they have since made MEDUSA fully operational and have been able to do
a lot of really neat experiments.
This is where I received my BS degree, June 1995. During my junior year at UCI, I worked
as a research assistant for
Bill Heidbrink studying the
non-linearity of the fishbone instability in the DIII-D tokamak. During my senior year,
I did some (undergrad) thesis research with
Roger McWilliams, studying the
propagation of lower hybrid waves in the Irvine Torus.
Or you can go see my old homepage. Or go to
my page in progress. I also have a tab page in progress.
Plus, you can always send email to me!
