Michael Thomas Kotschenreuther is an American physicist.
Kotschenreuther earned a doctorate at the Princeton University, where he authored the thesis The effect of small-scale fluctuations on several plasma processes.[1] He subsequently joined the Institute for Fusion Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.[2][3] In 1998, Kotschenreuther was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society "[f]or fundamental contributions to the self-consistent theory of magnetic island formation, for the implementation of the delta f numerical technique, and for developing theoretical techniques that quantitatively describe plasma transport in tokamaks."[4] In 2001, he was promoted to senior research scientist at the Institute for Fusion Studies.[3]
