Dr. Georg Friedrich Harrer serves as a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Hampton University's School of Science. He holds a Ph.D. (2020), M.Sc. (2016), and B.Sc. (2013) from TU Wien, Vienna, Austria, establishing a robust foundation in plasma physics and fusion energy research. His educational credentials include: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Physics, TU Wien, 2020 Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Physics, TU Wien, 2016 Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Physics, TU Wien, 2013 Dr. Harrer's research program centers on advancing fusion energy through investigations of plasma stability, confinement regimes, and diagnostic methodologies. His expertise spans Plasma Edge Physics, Magnetohydrodynamic Stability, and Plasma Diagnostics, with significant contributions to understanding edge-localized modes (ELMs), scrape-off layer dynamics, and plasma-wall interactions in tokamak devices. He maintains active collaborations with major international fusion facilities including ASDEX Upgrade, TCV, MAST-U, and JET. Analysis of his 2022-2024 publications reveals a concentrated focus on developing exhaust scenarios for fusion reactors, optimizing high-confinement regimes without large ELMs, and translating experimental findings from European facilities toward ITER and DEMO reactor designs. His work bridges computational modeling with experimental validation to address critical challenges in plasma stability and heat management. No scientific awards or student advising activities were documented in the source material. Prior to joining Hampton University, Dr. Harrer completed a postdoctoral fellowship at TU Wien and the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics / EUROfusion, where he additionally served as Scientific Coordinator for EUROfusion. His pedagogical approach integrates theoretical frameworks with hands-on experimentation and project-based learning to prepare students for careers in advanced physics research and energy technology development.
