Dr. Florian Effenberg

Dr. Florian Effenberg is a staff research physicist at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) in Princeton, NJ, USA. His research areas are nuclear fusion, plasma physics, plasma-material interactions, and 3D divertor physics. He received his Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During his Ph.D. and Postdoc, he led experiments with impurity seeding during the first limiter and island divertor campaigns at the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany. Dr. Effenberg's current research interests at PPPL are focused on plasma boundary and core-edge integration studies, which he conducts at General Atomic's DIII-D tokamak in San Diego, CA.
