Warwick Dumas

Simulation Researcher at Lawrenceville Plasma Physics

After being awarded his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Leicester (UK) in 2010, he began volunteering on simulation building for Focus Fusion Society. He is inspired by the prospects for Focus Fusion to make a dramatic change to the global prospects for social justice and environmental conservation. He joined LPPF in 2012, carrying on with the same project, a simulation of the plasma filaments that form when the capacitor banks are discharged. An early version of this simulation helped LPPF to re-design the cathode and the current version still under development, will break new ground in several directions in simulation of plasmas. In the past, he has worked as a statistics analyst for the UK government Learning and Skills Council and with Santander.
