    Academic homepage of Francis Casson (F.J. Casson)

    THIS PAGE IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED (in fact, I am unable to edit it since 20 Jul 2011 )

    If I create a new page, it will probably appear here



    Currently: Post-Doc at IPP Garching, but not yet relocated my homepage

    Former position: CFSA PhD Student

    Former supervisor: Arthur Peeters

    Topic: Turbulent transport in rotating tokamak plasmas

    Funding: EPSRC and CCFE

    Background: Mathematical Physics MSci from The University of Nottingham
