General comments

Prof. Hartmut Zohm's main fields of interest are the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability of fusion plasmas and their heating by Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH). By combining these two fields, he pioneered the active stabilisation of neoclassical magnetic islands, which set a major performance limit to the tokamak, by ECRH. His present field is the study of tokamak physics on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak which is operated by his department. He is also involved in the European studies for a demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO).

Prof. Zohm is a member of the Programme Advisory Committees of KSTAR (Daejon, Korea) and EAST (ASIPP Hefei, China), the EUROFusion STAC as well as chair of the External Advisory Board of the EPSRC Fusion Centre for Doctoral Training (York, UK) and the International Advisory Committee of the physics programme of the Chinese Fusion Experimental Test Reactor (CFETR). He is also a member of the board of editors of the ‘Nuclear Fusion' journal and a member of the advisory board of the ‘Annalen der Physik' journal.
