Professor Miklos Porkolab received his Ph.D. at Stanford University in 1967,
and thereafter joined the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory where he rose to
the position of Senior Research Physicist and Lecturer with the rank of
Professor in the Astrophysical Sciences Department in 1975. While at Princeton
University, Professor Porkolab carried out pioneering experimental research in
the area of nonlinear wave-wave and wave-particle interactions, parametric
instabilities and high power wave plasma interactions in high temperature
plasmas. Professor Porkolab spent 1976 at the Max Planck Institute in
Garching, Germany, under the auspices of the Humboldt Foundation as a winner of
the "US Senior Scientist Award." In 1977 Dr. Porkolab joined MIT as a
professor in the Physics Department and since then he has led several
pioneering experiments in radio frequency heating and noninductive current
drive on the Versator II, and the Alcator C and C-Mod tokamaks. For this work,
Professor Porkolab shared the 1984 American Physical Society "Excellence in
Plasma Research Award”. From 1991 - 2001 he served as Editor of Physics
Letters A, Plasma Physics and Fluid Dynamics subsection. He also represented
the US Plasma Physics community for six years on the International Union of
Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) Commission-16 (Plasma Physics) (1991-1997).
In 1992-1995 he served as a member of the National Research Council Subpanel on
Plasma Science. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, has served on
various DOE committees, and has been past chairman of the Gordon Research
Conferences (1978) and the RF Power in Plasmas Conference in Boston (1993). In
1999 he served as Chair, Plasma Physics Division, American Physical Society.
Since 1995 he has been the Director of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at
MIT.
