Egemen Kolemen is an Associate Professor at Princeton University’s Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Department, with joint appointments at the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). He serves as Director of the Program in Sustainable Energy and holds the distinction of ITER Scientist Fellow. His research focuses on enabling economically feasible fusion reactors through engineering and physics analysis, with a strong emphasis on machine learning, real-time diagnostics, and control systems. Dr. Kolemen earned his B.S. from Bogazici University (2002) and Ph.D. from Princeton University (2008). His research integrates advanced computational tools like DESC and FreeMHD with experimental collaborations at KSTAR, NSTX-U, and DIII-D tokamaks. He leads labs developing liquid metal divertors and low-temperature plasma diagnostics, while also advancing software for stellarator optimization and fusion reactor economics. His work bridges plasma physics and control systems, addressing challenges like tearing mode stabilization, edge localized mode (ELM) control, and AI-driven plasma profile prediction. Recent trends in his publications highlight breakthroughs in hybrid physics-AI models for fusion reactor design and real-time plasma diagnostics. Awards: David J. Rose Excellence in Fusion Engineering Award, American Nuclear Society’s Technical Accomplishment Award. Grants/Advising: Oversees research groups and collaborates with international fusion facilities, focusing on long-pulse edge plasma control and liquid metal applications. Labs/Teams: Director of liquid metal divertor and plasma diagnostics labs, co-developer of the DESC computational framework.
