Vinícius Duarte, a research physicist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), has won a prestigious $2.5 million Early Career Research Program Award sponsored by the DOE’s Office of Science. Duarte will use the five-year funding to advance the understanding of processes that lead to the loss of high-energy particles in tokamak fusion facilities. The award is one of 93 totaling $135 million that the DOE has provided this year to recipients at universities and national laboratories.
