    • Forward Modeling for Bolometry and Disruption Mitigation in Tokamaks or How to Kill Your Plasma With Confidence, Style, and Pizzazz 

      Stein-Lubrano, Benjamin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      The tokamak is a promising approach to magnetic confinement fusion. Tokamak functionality is threatened by plasma disruption events, which can damage critical machine components. Disruption damage can be mitigated by high-Z ...

    • Understanding the Milky Way with Stars 

      Ou, Xiaowei (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      "How do galaxies form?" is one of the most important questions in modern astrophysics. Hierarchical growth, the most plausible theory behind galaxy formation, suggests that galaxies, including the Milky Way, assemble through ...

    • Coating Thermal Noise in Gravitational-Wave Detectors 

      Demos, Nicholas (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      The direct detection of gravitational waves, originating from cataclysmic events such as black hole and neutron star mergers, has ushered in a new era of observational astronomy. These signals offer unique insights into ...
