Harold Grad

Harold Grad was a prominent physicist known for his contributions to the field of plasma physics, particularly in fusion research. He developed mathematical theories to describe the behavior of charged particles in plasmas, which are essential for understanding how to confine and sustain fusion reactions, the process that powers the sun. His work helped improve models of plasma stability and transport, making significant advancements in the quest for practical nuclear fusion energy. Grad's legacy is a foundation for ongoing research aimed at achieving clean and sustainable energy through controlled fusion.
