Professor Mark R Smith Theoretical Physicist

Synopsis: Involved in Nuclear Fusion Physics I also carry out research into Astrophysics which deals with some of the most majestic themes known to science. Among these are the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang to the present day; the origin and evolution of planets, stars, galaxies, and the elements themselves; the unity of basic physical law; and the connection between the subatomic properties of nature and the observed macroscopic universe. Astrophysics is important to Nuclear Fusion because the way our sun and all the stars in the universe operates relies on nuclear fusion of hydrogen to produce heat, light and plasma charged particles (solar wind). Nuclear Fusion on Earth is being researched in order to produce energy for power generation of the future and thereby address the shortage, of energy needs worldwide.
