Dr. Mynick is a Principal Research Physicist
in the Theory Department at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory
(PPPL). Mynick is the author of more than 120 scientific papers. His
research interests are in plasma physics, in energy and environmental
studies, and in artificial intelligence. Within plasma physics, his
principal areas of technical expertise are in plasma transport, particularly
in 3-dimensional toroidal systems, energetic particle dynamics, and
canonical mechanics. He has been a Fellow of the American Physical
Society since 1996. In 1990-91, he was a Hewlett Fellow at the Princeton
University Center for Energy and Environmental Studies, working on
issues in energy and environmental technology and policy assessment.
Mynick received his bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics with
highest honors from Yale University in 1972, winning in addition the
DeForrest Mathematical Prize, Alan M. Bateman Science Award and the
Russell H. Chittenden Prize, awarded to the undergraduate with the
highest academic standing. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the
University of
California, Berkeley in 1978.
