Leading scientist's research interests: High temperature plasma physics, physics and technology of tokamaks, theory of equilibrium and stability of plasma, applications of thermonuclear synthesis reactions in nuclear power, quantitative methods for strongly non-isotropic plane

Quote by the head of the laboratory: «If plasma is not cooled it is going to be hot – I have an impression that this is hard to grasp for all the plasma physicists. It is much easier to prevent cooling that to needlessly put more and more energy into plasma and fight off turbulent losses.
