Alex Koen presents at the American Physical Society’s Plasma Physics Conference
Alex Koen at the American Physical Society’s Plasma Physics Conference, October 31 – November 2, 2023 in Denver, Colorado. Abstract: While commercially-available computer-aid design (CAD) tools excel in modeling most traditional designs, they fall short when developing complex, computationally-seeded stellarator geometry. At Thea Energy, the magnetic winding surface is tiled using an array of planar […]
Engineering Physics students build their own “Mario Karts” for the annual robot competition
Karts must complete as many laps of the track as possible in 2 minutes. Taking shortcuts and flying will save some time. Dropping “bananas” and bombs to slow down the competition is allowed.
