About
Egemen Kolemen is a leading figure in fusion energy research, with a focus on plasma control, diagnostics, and the integration of machine learning to accelerate the path to practical fusion power. As an Associate Professor at Princeton University and a Research Physicist at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), Kolemen has made pioneering contributions to real-time plasma control systems, including the development of advanced algorithms for tokamak stability and divertor heat flux management. His work on the DIII-D and NSTX-U tokamaks has been instrumental in shaping how fusion devices handle extreme plasma conditions. A notable achievement is his leadership in the "Advancing Fusion with Machine Learning Research Needs Workshop Report" (2020, 46 citations), which helped define the roadmap for applying AI to fusion challenges. With over 200 publications and thousands of citations, Kolemen's research bridges experimental physics and computational innovation, earning him recognition such as the DOE Early Career Award. His efforts are critical to making fusion energy a viable, sustainable power source.
