Salomon Guinchard

Welcome to my webpage! I graduated from EPFL with a Master of Science in Theoretical Physics. I specialized in Plasma Physics, Quantum Physics and Astrophysics. I did my master’s thesis at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) under the supervision of Dr. Stuart R. Hudson. You can find the thesis PDF in the section misc. works.

I am now a doctoral assistant at the Swiss Plasma Center SPC. In my research, I focus mainly on runaway electrons in tokamaks. Among other things, I am working on their modelling and their mitigation. In addition, I have a strong interest for stellarators, their design and optimization through work on the vacuum field and the magnetic coils. I also worked on trapped electron clouds in gyrotrons. Check out the Projects section to learn more about ongoing or future research.

Below, you can find links to my Linkedin, GitHub and Orcid pages. Don’t forget to check out the repositories section on this webpage too!
