As a staff research physicist, Santanu Banerjee is now working on the LTX-β tokamak and is responsible for the magnetic diagnostics and turbulence and transport research. He joined PPPL in 2021. Prior to joining PPPL he worked as a research scientist in William & Mary and worked on pedestal and ELM physics in the DIII-D tokamak and led several experiments there. Prior to that he has worked for 15 years on the Indian tokamaks Aditya and SST-1 on a variety of topics like turbulence and transport, runaway suppression, disruption etc. During this time, he also collaborated with colleagues like Stewart Zweben and Ahmed Diallo at PPPL and worked on NSTX gas puff imaging (GPI) data. Banerjee received his PhD in 2013 from Kyushu University, Japan while working on the spherical tokamak QUEST. He also worked in TEXTOR on charge exchange recombination and beam emission spectroscopy. He has received the International Joint Research grant from the Research Institute of Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, Japan for five consecutive years (2014-2018) for investigating turbulence and transport in the edge and scrape off layer of QUEST. Since 2015, he has been serving first as a constituent member and then as an expert for the Pedestal and Edge Physics (PEP) topical group of the International Tokamak Physics Activity (ITPA) for facilitating research in ITER.
