I still remember the summer after my freshman year in college, when I got into this whole polywell mess. Now Grad school is closing in on me; I'm gonna have to go find something to do for a year, then I'm gonna go to grad school.

Any suggestions for ones with plasma physics? Please dont say Wisconsin, MIT, Princeton, or any of the top plasma physics universities, because I dont want to get a program where I'm competing for the resources, no university in the states does polywell (or IEC for that matter, other than Wisconsin), I need a university that will provide me with a good education in physics and plasma physics, and everything else I will have to do by myself, which is fine by me.

Remember that Andrew Seltzman built his fusor- went to the Georgia Institute of Technology, and then transfered to U of Wis @ Mad.

GIT is no powerhouse name school, I see no reason you cant go to a respectable school with a good Physics program, with the goal of making your own mark, and do it near your home. Getting a solid education without zeroing in on Polywell,

If you still want to take the IEC/Polywell angle, look for that. Instead of that guy that wanted you to follow in his footsteps, with that .... what was it> Soot research?

Or a smaller not popular school might be sold on a thesis fusor, you might be the big fish in the little pond, and a few thousand in private grants might get a fusor built, if you are considering that direction.

Best of luck.

University of Washington may be an option if you have an interest in FRC. Even if you are not commuted to that, it at least implies that they are not blinded by the tokamak prejudice.
Kansas State staff/ students have had some limited exposure to DPF, another alternate approach.
