Summary

Ellie Tubman is an experimental physicist working on laser-driven fusion and laboratory astrophysics.

Ellie completed her PhD at the University of York through their fusion centre for doctoral training under the supervision of Prof. Nigel Woolsey. Her thesis was entitled 'Magnetic field generation in laser-plasma interactions'. After completion of her PhD she took a position at Imperial College London as a research associate working on the MAGPIE pulsed power machine with a team led by Prof. Sergey Lebedev. Her research then led her to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory where she collaborated on numerous projects at the NIF and using the Omega laser facility.

Her research focuses on investigating the generation of magnetic fields within fusion conditions as well as the production of collisionless shock waves. Alongside these key experiments she is working of the development of diagnostics, including expanding the methods to measure electromagnetic fields.

Outside of work she is a keen sailor and triathlete!
