Nanyang Technological University
Xavier Garbet (b. 1961)[1] is an theoretical plasma physicist and a professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).[2] He is currently appointed as the Temasek Chair in Clean Energy, as his professorship was established by a $6 million endowment from Singapore's state investment firm, Temasek Holdings. This appointment aims to support a magnetic confinement fusion research and manpower training program at NTU for clean energy development in Singapore.[3]
Early life and career
In 1982, Garbet received a Bachelor's degree in Physics from Paris-Sorbonne University. He then earned a Master's degree in plasma physics from Paris-Saclay University. Subsequently, he earned a PhD degree in theoretical and high-energy physics in 1988 and a Habilitation à diriger des recherches (French habilitation) in 2001 from Aix-Marseille University.[4]
Garbet was hired by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in 1988.[5] He was a visiting scientist at General Atomics from 1994 to 1995 and led a plasma transport modelling task force at the Joint European Torus from 2001 to 2004.[6] In 2008, he became a research director at CEA. In 2022, he joined NTU as a professor of theoretical and computational plasma physics and was appointed as the Temasek Chair in Clean Energy.[2]
Honours and awards
Garbet was awarded the CNRS Silver Medal by the French National Centre for Scientific Research for his work on plasma confinement fusion in 2010.[7][8]
In 2019, he was awarded the Fernand Holweck Medal and Prize by the Société Française de Physique.[6]
In 2022, Garbet was awarded the Hannes Alfvén Prize for his theoretical contributions to the dynamics of magnetically confined fusion plasmas.[9]
