My name is Martin Nieto, very nice to meet you all.
I am currently an Associate Teaching Professor in the nuclear engineering department at Penn State University
BS, Chemical Engineering, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana, Mexico City (1998)
MS, Nuclear Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2001)
PhD, Nuclear Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2004)
I have been involved in fusion science and technology for the past 25 years.
Glad to be here

Re: Glad to be here
Welcome,
We are well aware of the U of I work at Urbana-Champaign and Dr. Miley using a fusor in his department for a number of years back. Did you work with or in concert with that effort?
Anyway, It is good to have a pro looking over our work and shoulders.

Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment

Hello Richard:
In fact, I did my Master's Thesis with Professor Miley on some computer simulations for an IEC device back in 2001. For the PhD, I switched to liquid metal plasma facing components in fusion reactors, and that has been my primary research since. I also do some neutronics as well.
But I am still very fond of the electrostatic confinement and I regard it as an excellent way to gain interest in nuclear fusion as a whole.
