Federica Pierro Tufts University United States 1 (Northeastern U.S.) Award Received: IEEE CSC Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity Date Awarded: 2019 Citation: I would like to continue my research by experimentally investigating the behavior of HTS cables. Using skills acquired during my Ph.D., I would combine the experiments with finite element modelling. Finally, I would like to expand my knowledge working on aspects relevant to magnet design, where I believe my knowledge of finite element modeling and testing would be well suited.
