Academic Career & Impact on Plasma Physics
Ksenia Alexandrovna Razumova is a Russian experimental plasma physicist whose career at the Kurchatov Institute spans more than six decades. She was awarded the 2017 Hannes Alfvén Prize by the European Physical Society for her extensive experimental contributions to tokamak physics, including pioneering work on confinement scaling, profile self-consistency, and the discovery of canonical pressure profiles.
She participated in the operation of the historic T-3 tokamak — the device whose 1968 results convinced the international community of the tokamak's viability — and went on to shape decades of T-10 and T-15 research, providing benchmark data that informs modern transport theory.
