Plasma Thermonuclear Fusion and Plasma Astrophysics-2007


August 25 - 28, 2007, La Jolla, California 92038-2946



Marshall Nicholas ROSENBLUTH

b. February 5,1927 - Albany, New York.
d. September 28, 2003 - San Diego, California.

M. N. Rosenbluth, a world-acclaimed scientist, is one of the ultimate authorities in plasma and thermonuclear fusion research, often indicated by the sobriquet the "Pope of Plasma Physics." His theoretical contributions have been central to the development of controlled thermonuclear fusion. In the 1950s his pioneering work in plasma instabilities, together with pioneering works of A. Sakharov, I.Tamm, L. Spitzer, Jr., L. A. Artsimovich, and others, led to the design of the TOKAMAK, the principal configuration used for contemporary magnetic fusion experiments.

In addition to his research achievements, he has made significant administrative contributions as a scientific advisor in the fields of energy policy and national defense.

He is the founder and the first director of The Institute for Fusion Studies at Austin,Texas. M. N. Rosenbluth has been the recipient of the E.O.Lawrence Memorial Award (1964),the Albert Einstein Award (1967),the James Clerk Maxwell prize in Plasma Physics(1976),and the Enrico Fermi Award (1986).

M. N. Rosenbluth had been Science Advisor for the INSTITUTE for ADVANCED PHYSICS STUDIES (presently a division of The Stefan University) since 1989. He is the editor-in-chief of the FSRC Book "NEW IDEAS in TOKAMAK CONFINEMENT" published by the American Institute of Physics.

M. N. Rosenbluth was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, a Professor Emeritus at the University of California, San Diego, and a Senior Scientist at General Atomics, San Diego.

(C) 1996. V. Stefan. (Oil-Acrylic)

The progress of science presupposes the possibility of unrestricted communication of all results and judgments--freedom of expression and instruction in all realms of intellectual endeavor. The freedom of communication is indispensable for development and extension of scientific knowledge. Such an ideal must be sought unremittingly if scientific thought, and philosophical and creative thinking in general, are to be advanced as far as possible.
