Academic Achievements
- Authored over 50 peer-reviewed journal papers, many as first author. Recipient of important awards during his academic career, including the Manson Benedict Award, Del Favero Doctoral Thesis Prize at MIT, and listed by Forbes magazine as part of their 30 Under 30 list in Science in 2021.
Research Experience
- Utilizes state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to solve complex physics and engineering optimization problems, and has been leading the efforts of predicting the performance of the SPARC tokamak, poised to be the first magnetic-confinement fusion device to study net-energy plasmas.
Education
- Studied Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid (2013), holds a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University (2014), and received his doctoral degree from MIT in 2019.
Background
- A Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center, leading the MFE Integrated Modeling group. Despite his engineering background, Pablo focused on the study of fundamental transport phenomena with computational plasma physics.
