Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJens Von Der Linden is a plasma physicist and principal scientist with 12+ years solving challenging problems across fusion energy, fundamental plasma research, and national security. He combines hands-on experiment and diagnostic design with computational modeling—from trapping relativistic electron-positron plasmas to developing multi-physics AMR models of volcanic discharge—and has led cross-disciplinary projects with national labs, universities, and industry in the US, Europe, and Japan. Comfortable in both academic and applied R&D settings, he has a track record of scaling experiments (e.g., injecting 100–1000× larger positron bunches) and inventing novel diagnostics to reveal plasma dynamics. Jens is equally committed to translating results beyond the lab through outreach and education, and he thrives on technical dialogue that connects complex problems back to fundamental physics.
