- Showed that High energy particles could produce a plasma stable to both Sawteeth and Fishbones- White, Bussac, Romanelli-PRL 62, 539 (1989)
- Found exact canonical variable for guiding center motion in general magnetic coordinates -White- Phys Fluids B2 845 (1990)
- Showed that Toroidicity induced Alfven modes could cause significant alpha loss - Sigmar, Hsu, White, Cheng -Phys Fluids B4, 1506 (1992)
- Simulated Rechester-Rosenbluth collisional diffusion in a stochastic magnetic field. - Rax, White - PRL 68, 1523 (1992)
- Made the first direct simulations of bootstrap current- Wu, White - Phys Fluids B5 (9) 3291 (1993)
- Calculated transport in a stochastic field, including near stochastic threshold. - White, Rax, Wu - Transport, Chaos, and Plasma Physics, edited by Benkadda, Doveil, and Elskens, World Scientific (1993)
- Showed that the TAE mode could cause intense local wall damage by induced ripple trapping. - White, Fredrickson, Darrow, Zarnstorff, Wilson, Zweben, Hill, Chen, Fu - Phys. Plasmas 2, 2871 (1995)
- Calculated Sawtooth Stabilization on Tore Supra - Zabiego, Basiuk, Becolet, Garbet, Saoutic, White, Yu - IAEA Seville 94, published IAEA Vienna (1995)
- Simulated the nonlinear saturation of the TAE mode - Wu, White, Chen, Rosenbluth - Phys. Plasmas (1995)
I plan to continue working primarily in the field of high energy particle-MHD interactions, and stochastic transport including ripple loss.
