Jacob M. Halpern works on fusion energy research, focusing on magnetic confinement devices such as tokamaks and stellarators, which are machines designed to hold superheated plasma using magnetic fields in order to produce fusion energy. His recent work involves designing magnetic coils, correcting unwanted magnetic field errors, and modeling how plasma equilibrium (its stable shape and configuration) behaves in these reactors.
