	Biography for
		The National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) is the first of a new class of stellarators known as “compact stellarators.” The differentiating feature of a compact stellarator is the use of plasma current in combination with external fields to accomplish shaping and confinement.
		NCSX will be sited at PPPL in a Test Cell previously used by one of PPPL's first magnetic confinement device, which was also a stellarator.
		Stellarators are a class of magnetic fusion confinement devices characterized by three dimensional magnetic fields and plasma shapes and are the best-developed class of magnetic fusion devices after the tokamak.

		An optimized compact stellarator QPS (quasi-poloidal stellarator) has been developed and passed through a successful physics validation review, and will be proposed as a future experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
		Specific areas of research include stellarator optimization and physics, toroidal plasma turbulence, anomalous transport, rf antenna design, and physics databases for future burning plasma experiments.

	National Compact Stellarator Experiment at PPPL
		A new experimental facility, the National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX), is under construction as the centerpiece of the U.S. effort to develop the physics and determine the attractiveness of the compact stellarator as the basis for a fusion power reactor.
		NCSX is being built at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
		Dramatic advances in magnetic confinement physics and computational capabilities have yielded a promising new configuration -- the compact stellarator.
