In recognition of Brian’s research contributions, he was awarded the Kaul Foundation Prize for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research and Technology Development in 2017 by Princeton University “For groundbreaking studies in deuterium charge exchange spectroscopy, leading to the first routine measurement of main ion flow in a fusion plasma.” In the fall of 2018 Brian was named Divison Head of the DIII-D collaboration for the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory's ITER and Tokamaks Department. At DIII-D, Brian became co-lead of the Core-Edge Integration Task Force in 2017, Deputy Group Leader of Pedestal and ELM Physics in 2018, Group Leader in 2019, and Group Leader for a newly formed Edge & Boundary Physics Group in 2020. At the end of 2021 Brian became Director of the newly formed Fusion Pilot Plant Design Hub at General Atomics. Brian continues his research and contributions to the field by mentoring junior scientists and leading research activities at General Atomics in San Diego.
