Marshall Nicholas Rosenbluth -- the "Pope of Plasma Physics"

Marshall Nicholas Rosenbluth, (1927--2003), was one of the ultimate authorities in plasma physics and thermonuclear fusion research, often indicated by the sobriquet the "Pope of Plasma Physics." His theoretical contributions have been central to the development of controlled thermonuclear fusion. In the 1950s, his pioneering work in plasma instabilities, together with the pioneering works of Andrei Sakharov, Igor Tamm, Lyman Spitzer, Jr., and Lev A. Artsimovich and others, led to the design of the TOKAMAK, the principal configuration used in contemporary magnetic fusion research, such as ITER--International Tokamak Experimental Reactor.

Rosenbluth's research in parametric instabilities in laser plasma interaction played a crucial role in the development of Laser Fusion Physics along with the research of Nikolay G. Basov, Oleg N. Krokhin, John M. Dawson, and Viktor P. Silin, among others.

In addition to his research achievements, Rosenbluth has made significant administrative contributions as a science advisor in the field of energy policy and national defense. He is the founder of the Institute for Fusion Studies at Austin, Texas, and was its first director for many years. He was the recipient of the E.O. Lawrence Memorial Award (1964), the Albert Einstein Award (1967), the James Clerk Maxwell Prize in Plasma Physics (1976), and the Enrico Fermi Award (1967). M. N. Rosenbluth was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, a Professor Emeritus of the University of California, San Diego, and a Senior Scientist at General Atomics, San Diego.
