Allen Wang

Allen is a PhD candidate at MIT majoring in Autonomous Systems in the AeroAstro department co-advised by Cristina Rea and Chuchu Fan, where he is a member of the Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) and the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS). Before joining fusion, he was a roboticist, having spent two years at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) followed by two years as a roboticist at Boston Dynamics. His goal is to advance disruption avoidance capabilities by applying techniques from the robotics and machine learning worlds to both pulse and control design for SPARC and advanced control experiments on existing devices. The biggest gap towards this goal is dynamics modelling. To address this gap, much of his current work focuses on building hybrid physics + ML models to predict plasma dynamics.
