Cuma Yarım

Cuma Yarım is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Astronautical Engineering at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey. His research focuses on plasma physics and nuclear fusion, with expertise in tokamak devices, plasma rotation dynamics, and spacecraft motion.

Research interests include:

• Plasma Physics and Nuclear Fusion
• Edge Plasma Dynamics and Rotation Bifurcation
• Neutral Beam Injection Physics
• Tokamak Magnetic Perturbations
• Spacecraft Relativistic Effects
• Rotational Momentum Transport

His 11 publications (1999-2009) reveal consistent contributions to fusion energy research through theoretical modeling of plasma behavior in tokamaks, with later expansion into spacecraft dynamics and satellite technology development.

Dr. Yarım has supervised 3 students and actively participates in the İTÜ-PSAT I student pico-satellite program, a CubeSat initiative advancing space systems engineering education at Istanbul Technical University.
