Michael Mauel / Vice Chair
Michael Mauel is Professor of Applied Physics and recently Chair of the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University. His research expertise is experimental plasma physics, and he is known for his contributions to the achievement of enhanced stability and thermal confinement in tokamaks and for his studies of instabilities of hot-electron plasmas created by cyclotron heating. He was educated at MIT receiving his B.S. in 1978 and his Sc.D. in 1983. While at MIT, he received the Fortesque Fellowship from the IEEE and the Guillemin prize for his undergraduate thesis on MHD mode identification. Mauel conducted post-doctoral research at MIT’s Tara tandem mirror before joining the faculty of Columbia University in 1985. At Columbia, he focused on high-beta tokamak research and was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by the Department of Energy in 1989. Mauel collaborated extensively with the TFTR research team, and he was a visiting scientist at DIII-D in 1994. At Columbia University, he built experimental programs in electron cyclotron plasma processing in collaboration with IBM and laboratory space physics with the support of NASA and the AFOSR. Presently, he is developing feedback techniques to control tokamak instabilities, studying interchange instabilities in rotating plasma confined by a strong dipole magnet, and co-directing the superconducting levitated dipole experiment being built at MIT. In 1994, Mauel was named Teacher of the Year, and his former graduate students are active in fusion science, solar physics, industrial technology, medicine, finance, and software development.
Michael Mauel served on the Executive Committee of the DPP from 1989-1990, the DPP Program Committees in 1990 and 1997, and the Fellowship Committee in 1997. He was Divisional Associate Editor of Physical Review Letters from 1995-1998. He became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1995. Mauel has also served the University Fusion Association in several positions from 1992-1998, and he was president in 1997 and 1998. He was three times chair of the Selection Committee for the National Undergraduate Fusion Fellows. He has been member of five subcommittees of DOE’s Fusion Energy Science Advisory Committee including the Strategic Planning Committee that defined a restructured fusion science research program in 1996. Mauel co-chaired the 1999 Fusion Science Summer Study at Snowmass.
