Theodore Mouratidis is a PhD Candidate in Aero Astro, working under Dennis Whyte at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center. Initially motivated by plasma and high energy density propulsion technologies, he simultaneously recognized fusion was key for future interstellar space travel, and its viability to become the primary energy source the planet would eventually rely on. His research is focused on the demountable joints in HTS superconducting coils for ARC. These are a crucial development for future commercial fusion reactors, as internal components of a reactor are subject to neutron damage and need to be replaced; demountability of the toroidal field magnets will allow for simpler access to these internal components.
