setthivoine-you
Summary
Dr. Setthivoine You — Chief Scientist & Co-Founder, Helicity Space. PhD Plasma Physics, Imperial College London. Postdoc at Caltech (with Paul M. Bellan — spheromak/plasma gun pioneer). Assistant Professor Aeronautics & Astronautics, University of Washington. Associate Professor, University of Tokyo. DOE Early Career Award recipient (MOCHI experiment). Research focus: 'magnetic reconnection-heating, vector tomography, compact toroids, Taylor states, and plasma flows.' KEY PUBLICATIONS: 'Helicity Drive: A Novel Scalable Fusion Concept for Deep Space Propulsion' (AIAA 2020), 'Observations of a plectonemic configuration in a stable magnetized plasma jet' (Phys. Plasmas 2021), 'Helical Shear-Flow Stabilization' (PRL 2019), 'The Mochi LabJet Experiment' (Astrophys. J. Suppl. 2018). Helicity Drive: 'peristaltic magnetic compression of a plectonemic plasma pre-heated by magnetic reconnection.' 'A plectoneme is a double-helical Taylor state that combines the properties of a spheromak and a shear-flow-stabilized pinch.' Collaborations with Caltech (Bellan), LANL (simulations), PPPL (switch technology), UMBC. LINEAGE: You → Bellan (Caltech) → spheromaks/plasma guns → compact toroids → magnetic reconnection. This is the SAME physics lineage as MARAUDER (compact toroid projection) and the CFR (high-beta cusp confinement + reconnection).
