Adam Sefkow, an assistant professor of at the URochester and senior scientist at the University鈥檚 , is being recognized with two awards for his research in high-energy density physics and inertial confinement fusion.
He has聽received a prestigious Early Career Research Program award聽from the US Department of Energy to develop a hybrid fluid-kinetic multi-physics simulation code to help聽interpret data acquired from high-energy-density physics and inertial confinement fusion experiments.
Sefkow will also receive the Fusion Power Associates 2017 Excellence in Fusion Engineering Award in recognition of his scientific contributions on a range of topics, including magneto-inertial fusion,聽short-pulse and long-pulse laser-plasma interaction physics, and intense charged-particle beam transport.
Sefkow, who received his PhD from Princeton University in 2007, was a principal member of the technical staff in the Pulsed Power Sciences Center at Sandia National Laboratories before joining the 蘑菇传媒 in 2016.
