Vinícius Njaim Duarte's research is focused on the resonant interaction between energetic particles and Alfvénic waves in fusion devices via analytical and numerical modeling. His current interests include collisional kinetic theory and fast ion transport in tokamaks with concomitant neutral beam and radiofrequency heating. He is a recipient of the 2023 DOE Early Career Award and the 2024 IUPAP Early Career Scientist Prize. He is a Member of the ITPA Energetic Particle Physics Topical Group and serves on the Editorial Board of Physics of Plasmas and on the Executive Committee of Transport Task Force (TTF). He obtained his PhD in Physics in 2017 from the University of São Paulo, for which he received the Brazilian Physical Society thesis prize. After a postdoc at PPPL, he moved to the research staff in 2020.
