Background
Prof. Brooks is nationally and internationally known in the area of plasma material interactions in fusion devices. His research includes sputtering erosion/redeposition, tritium co-deposition, mixed materials performance in plasma facing components, and the plasma response. His current work includes analysis of current US and world tokamak plasma/surface interaction results, and the expected performance of the international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER).
Education
Ph.D. Electrical Engineering (New York University, 1972)
Research and academic interests
Plasma/surface interaction research modeling, code development and validation, lab experimental studies, analysis of present fusion experiments, design of plasma pacing components in ITER and future fusion reactors, high/power surface interaction. Modeling, analysis of issues for semiconductor, defense, high-energy physics, industrial application, integrated, peta-scale, multi-disciplinary computer simulation for fusion, biology, and other applications.
