Patrick Henry Diamond is an American theoretical plasma physicist. He is currently a professor at the University of California, San Diego,[1] and a director of the Fusion Theory Institute at the National Fusion Research Institute in Daejeon, South Korea, where the KSTAR Tokamak is operated.[2]
In 2011, Diamond was jointly awarded the Hannes Alfvén Prize with Akira Hasegawa and Kunioki Mima for important contributions to the theory of turbulent transport in plasmas.[3][4] In addition to applications in controlled nuclear fusion, he also specializes in astrophysical plasmas.[5]
Early life and career
Diamond received his Ph.D. in 1979 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[6]
Patrick Diamond is very fond of cats, and currently has one cat, Geronimo.
Honors and awards
In 1986, he was inducted a fellow of the American Physical Society.[7] In 1988, he became a Sloan Research Fellow.[1]
In 2011, Diamond was awarded the Hannes Alfvén Prize by the European Physical Society for "laying the foundations of modern numerical transport simulations and key contributions on self-generated zonal flows and flow shear decorrelation mechanisms which form the basis of modern turbulence in plasmas".[3]
