Alex Creely is a scientist at Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), working on the physics and engineering design of the world's first net-energy fusion device, the SPARC tokamak. He completed his PhD in Applied Plasma Physics in February 2019, working at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC). His PhD thesis topic was the measurement and simulation of turbulence in tokamak plasmas, with the ultimate goal of developing simulations that can accurately predict the performance of future fusion devices. He has worked with the Alcator C-Mod tokamak at MIT, the ASDEX Upgrad tokamak at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany, and the Large Helical Device at the National Institute for Fusion Science in Japan.
