Robin Heinonen

Ph.D. Student — University of California San Diego

From 2016 to 2021, Robin Heinonen studied turbulent plasma physics as a Ph.D student under the mentorship of Prof. Patrick Diamond. He conducted research on avalanching, turbulence spreading and zonal flows in tokamak plasmas via analytical and computational methods. He also explored broad interests in machine learning and nonlinear dynamics.

Prior to attending UCSD, Robin completed undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics at the University of Minnesota, and spent nearly a year working on computational warm dense plasmas as a post-baccalaureate intern at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
