Josefine Proll

Josefine Proll, originally from northern Germany, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. She works on nuclear fusion, which promises clean and abundant energy for all. Her main focus is studying how the intricate shape of the fusion reactor — reminiscent of a very twisted donut — influences the turbulence in the fusion fuel. For her work she frequently collaborates with colleagues from Greifswald, home to Germany’s biggest fusion experiment Wendelstein 7-X, but also the UK, the US, Spain and Japan.
