Pablo Oyola

Dr. Pablo Oyola is an Associate Research Physicist in the PPPL theory department, where his work explores the effects of the radiofrequency on the fast-ion populations and the interplay of both with Alfvénic instabilities in tokamaks.

In his work, he tries to understand the complex phenomenology observed in spherical tokamaks and develop control strategies using concomitant NBI and RF in future reactors. Dr. Oyola completed his PhD in Physics as the University of Seville in 2024, where he focused on the development of new diagnostics for the edge measurements and the development of their analysis tools, and also on nonlinear simulation of the interactions between fast-ions and Alfvénic waves in negative triangularity plasmas.
