Mark Gilmore Associate Professor Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics and Astronomy Departments University of New Mexico |
Bio: Mark Gilmore has been involved in plasma research since 1986, when he received the B.S. in Electrical Engineering (EE) from Boston University. From 1986 to 1990 he was an Associate Research Engineer at Delphax Systems (a Xerox company) in Canton, MA, where he assisted in research in Delphax’s Ion Deposition printing process. In 1992 he received the M.S. in EE from Northeastern University in Boston, MA, where, as Graduate Student Researcher (1990–1992), he developed an ionization source based on arrays of micron-scale field emission cathodes. From 1992 – 1999 he was a Graduate Student Researcher at UCLA, where he received the Ph.D. in 1999. His dissertation involved detailed comparisons of probe and microwave reflectometer measurements of plasma turbulence. Dr. Gilmore was an Assistant Research Engineer and Lecturer in the Electrical Engineering Dept. at UCLA from July 1999 to Dec. 2002. During this time, he conducted research at the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), the DIII-D tokamak, and the LArge Plasma Device (LAPD) facilities. In January 2003 he joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics and Astronomy Departments at the University of New Mexico as an Assistant Professor. He currently has research projects in basic plasma physics (turbulence and transport in laboratory plasmas, as well as active feedback control of turbulent transport, laboratory astrophysics, and plasma sources), plasma diagnostics, magneto-inertial fusion (MIF), pulsed power technology, and space weather. Dr. Gilmore has been an Associate Professor since July, 2009.
