Mingyun Cao
Ph.D. Student — University of California San Diego
Mingyun is interested in theoretical plasma physics, with a focus on magnetic confinement fusion. He is currently studying plasma turbulence in stochastic magnetic fields, which is critical to the trade-off between good confinement and good power handling in a tokamak.
In future studies, Mingyun anticipates collaborating on DIII-D experiments to investigate plasma dynamics and improve tokamak phenomenology experimental data processing.
Mingyun earned a B.S. in Physics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2020.
