About

H. Meister is a specialist in plasma diagnostics for magnetic confinement fusion, with a particular focus on bolometric measurements for tokamak reactors. Their research centers on the design, calibration, and characterization of bolometer systems, which are essential for measuring the total radiated power in fusion plasmas. Meister's major contributions include the development of automated methods for in situ calibration and geometric characterization of bolometer diagnostics, significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of these measurements. Their work on the ITER bolometer prototype collimators (2013, 10 citations) assessed line-of-sight characteristics critical for the international fusion experiment. Additionally, they pioneered an automated technique for in situ measurement of bolometer geometry (2011, 7 citations) and extended this approach to the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak (2014, 3 citations). These innovations reduce the need for manual calibration and enhance diagnostic performance in harsh reactor environments. Meister's achievements are notable for advancing the practical deployment of bolometry in large-scale fusion devices, contributing directly to the development of ITER and future fusion power plants.
