Application is either through the Neptun system for BME students or through the Doodle page. Application deadline is 12th February.
This is a course at BME of 2 ECTS value taught by Tom Todd - Chief Technologist of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (retired).
CV of lecturer: Tom Todd has amassed considerable experience in fusion technology over a career spanning almost 40 years. His early work at Culham included superconducting devices, stellarators and tokamaks, before a secondment to the DIII-D tokamak at General Atomics in San Diego, US. He then played key roles in Culham's CLEO and Compass experiments, and served on many design reviews for proposed fusion devices in Europe and beyond, including several ITER technical review committees. Further roles followed in tokamak diagnostics and in technology transfer between fusion and industry. Tom Todd was involved in the design of both the START and MAST spherical tokamaks, chairing the MAST Advisory Committee. He moved to the UKAEA Dounreay nuclear decommissioning site in Scotland in 1999 as Manager of the Design Services Department. In 2004 he became Chief Engineer at Culham, responsible for the operational limits of the JET and MAST devices, and was appointed Chief Technologist in 2011. He retired from UKAEA in 2014 and is now a fusion systems consultant and a course lecturer for many different organisations. A Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers and a member of the Institute of Physics, he has a publication list of around 160 papers.
