Gianluca Gregori recognised for his contributions to plasma physics
Professor Gianluca Gregori, co-founder of Machine Discovery, has been awarded the prestigious institute of Physics (IOP) 2022 Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin.
The award recognises Professor Gregori’s pioneering experiments that have established laboratory astrophysics as a tool to study turbulent magnetised plasmas, particularly dynamo amplification, particle acceleration and heat conduction. The prize is one of the IOP’s silver subject medals and recognises distinguished contributions to plasma, solar or space physics.
