Mark Tillack received his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering in 1983 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and has been involved in energy research since that time. He was a member of the UCLA Institute for Plasma and Fusion Research from 1983-1994 where he held the title Principal Institute Scientist. From 1994 until the present he has been a member of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department at UC San Diego, and is currently the Associate Director of the Center for Energy Research. In 1995 he was a Guest Research Scientist in the Institute for Applied Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe in Germany. More recently in 2007 he held the position of Visiting Professor at Kyoto University in the Institute for Advanced Energy. He is currently pursuing research on laser-matter interactions and applications of high energy pulsed lasers as well as magnetic and inertial fusion energy technology.
