Plasma Physics, Clean Energy, and Artificial Intelligence with Matt Carrier | POP 881
Are you interested in science? What are a scientist’s predictions for AI? What is happening in the science world when it comes to generating clean energy?
In this podcast episode, Joe Sanok speaks about plasma physics, clean energy, and artificial intelligence with Matt Carrier.
Podcast Sponsor: Therapy NotesAs a therapist, I can tell you from experience that having the right EHR is an absolute lifeline. I recommend using TherapyNotes. They make billing, scheduling, notetaking, telehealth, and E-prescribe incredibly easy. Best of all, they offer live telephone support that’s available 7 days a week.
You don’t have to take my word for it – Do your own research and see for yourself – TherapyNotes is the #1 highest-rated EHR system available today, with 4.9 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot.com and on Google.
All you have to do is click the link below, or type promo code JOE on their website www.therapynotes.com, and receive a special 2-month trial, absolutely free.
If you’re coming from another EHR, TherapyNotes will import your demographic data quickly and easily at no cost, so you can get started right away.
Trust me, don’t waste any more of your time, and try TherapyNotes.
Meet Matt CarrierMatt Carrier is a PhD candidate studying plasma physics at the Kevin Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech where he researches plasma instabilities in magneto-inertial fusion concepts. He’s previously held positions at Ford Motor Company and NASA Langley and has collaborated with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories.

In This PodcastMatt started his undergraduate degree in aerospace engineering because he wanted to focus more on the space side of things.
One of the things that caught his attention was plasma.
I ended up getting into the fusion community. So, plasma physics is a big [and] diverse … there’s a lot to do within it, and one of those things is nuclear fusion.
Matt CarrierSimply put, nuclear fusion is a way of generating power by taking big atoms and breaking them apart, or slamming smaller atoms together.
Basically, nuclear fusion is what powers the sun, and so the idea is [to] basically take the science [of what] powers the sun and do that in a system here on Earth … and it’s really hard to do.
Matt Carrier Clean energy productionNuclear fission creates a lot of radioactive nuclear waste. However, nuclear fusion reactions are aneutronic, so they don’t create byproducts of radiation or radioactive waste like the others.
So even though nuclear fusion is difficult to do, it is a great way to generate a form of “clean” energy that is technically sustainable.
A scientific perspective on AIMatt explains that the mathematical foundation of AI creates a great opportunity for speeding up simulation work.
What you can do is take all this data and basically feed it into one of these … processes that basically take the data … use machine learning on it, and have it run out a simulation farther in less time.
Matt CarrierIn this way, AI can help scientists predict and understand the possibility of different futures by allowing them to predict more in less time than it would take them to do by hand.
Matt’s advice to private practitionersYou can use technology to your benefit, you just have to know what you need help with for it to be beneficial for you. Embrace technology and see how it can help you to run your business more smoothly.
