PhD: Princeton University

Sina Atalay,

After my internship at CERN, I stayed in the superconductivity field and began my PhD at Princeton University’s Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering as part of the Plasma Control Group.

My focus was on the geometry optimization of high-temperature superconducting pancake coils, aiming to achieve stronger magnetic fields, one of the keys for advancing fusion energy systems.

In April 2025, I paused my PhD studies to fully commit myself to building Academa.
