Kamil Sklodowski – Bio

Kamil Sklodowski (previously Kamil Krynski) is a past member of Evans group at QC. His research project was focused on measurements of the quasi-free electron energy in hydrogen, deuterium and oxygen. The majority of that work was done at the Synchrotron Radiation Center of University of Wisconsin, with a smaller portion completed at the Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices of Louisiana State University. Kamil graduated Queens College in 2016 with joint B.A./M.A. degrees in Chemistry and Physics.

Currently he is an experimental plasma physics PhD student at UCLA working under the advisement of Dr. Troy Carter. His doctoral thesis project focuses on explaining the dynamics and phenomena of arched magnetized plasmas. Kamil works at the Basic Plasma Science Facility of UCLA on an in-house plasma device that produces arched plasma with parameters scaled to be relevant to arched structures found on the Sun (coronal loops, solar prominences).

In his spare time, Kamil loves to bake desserts. Triffle is his specialty. During winter, he is a passionate skier, and in warmer months Kamil enjoys hiking, camping and traveling.
