Andrey Litnovsky

Dr. Andrey Litnovsky is a researcher at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, affiliated with the Institute of Fusion Energy and Nuclear Waste Management (IFN-1) in the Plasma Physics department. His work focuses on advanced materials for fusion reactors, particularly SMART alloys and plasma-facing components.

• Research Interests: Development and testing of oxidation-resistant tungsten alloys, plasma-material interactions, and high-heat flux component design.
• Publications: Recent work includes studies on WCrY SMART material properties, yttrium effects on oxidation resistance, and plasma-facing component testing in tokamaks like Wendelstein 7-X and DIII-D.

Dr. Litnovsky contributes to fusion material modeling, sintering techniques, and industrial-scale production of SMART alloys for DEMO reactors. His lab conducts experiments in linear plasma devices like PSI-2 and collaborates with international fusion projects.
