Alex Creely is Director of Tokamak Operations at Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), leading operational planning for the world's first net-energy fusion device, the SPARC tokamak.  He completed his PhD in Applied Plasma Physics in February 2019, working at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC).  His PhD thesis topic was the measurement and simulation of turbulence in tokamak plasmas, with the ultimate goal of developing simulations that can accurately predict the performance of future fusion devices.  He has worked with the Alcator C-Mod tokamak at MIT, the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Germany, and the Large Helical Device at the National Institute for Fusion Science in Japan.
