The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), roughly four miles out from campus, is a national lab run by the Department of Energy and yet remains a relatively elusive branch of Princeton’s research centers. The PPPL focuses on using plasma, often called “the fourth state of matter,” to tackle the world’s toughest science and technology challenges. In this episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond, Noelle Kim sits down with Maxwell Rosen, third year Ph.D. student in the Princeton Plasma Physics Program, who focuses on the gyrokinetics of high-field magnetic mirrors. Listen in on this exclusive interview to learn more about Maxwell’s notable work and the overarching goals of the PPPL!
This episode of Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond (B cubed) was produced under the 148th board of The Daily Princetonian in partnership with the Insights newsletter.

What is Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond?
Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond (B Cubed) is a collaborative project between The Daily Princetonian and Princeton Insights. The show releases 3 episodes monthly: one longer episode as part of the Insights partnership, and two shorter episodes independently created by the 'Prince.' This show is produced by Senna Aldoubosh '25 under the 147th Board of the 'Prince.' Insights producers are Crystal Lee, Addie Minerva, and Thiago Tarraf Varella. This show is a reimagined version of the show formerly produced as Princeton Insights: The Highlights under the 145th Board of the 'Prince.'
