معرفی
Tamas Zagyva is a Research Associate in the Department of Materials at Imperial College London. His research focuses on advanced ceramic materials for nuclear fusion reactors, specifically evaluating their radiation resistance through ion irradiation experiments. He collaborates with Dr. Sam Humphry-Baker’s group and external institutions like the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) and the Dalton Cumbrian Facility.
Education: BSc in Earth Sciences, followed by a Master’s and PhD in Materials Science, specializing in ceramic and glass-ceramic nuclear materials.
Research Interests: Radiation damage in materials such as hafnium hydride, tungsten boride, and tungsten carbide. His work aims to identify neutron shielding materials capable of withstanding fusion reactor environments, critical for advancing clean energy solutions.
Collaborations: Supervises three PhD students and conducts experiments at UKAEA and Dalton Cumbrian Facility. His research bridges material science and fusion technology, addressing challenges like neutron radiation’s impact on reactor components.
Labs/Teams: Active in Dr. Sam Humphry-Baker’s group at Imperial College. Engages in cross-institutional projects to develop radiation-resistant materials for spherical tokamak reactors.
