Richard Peter Majeski (born March 14, 1952) is an American physicist from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. [1] He earned his bachelor's (1973) and master's (1974) degrees from the University of Scranton and his PhD in physics from Dartmouth College (1979). [2]

He was awarded the status of Fellow [3] in the American Physical Society, [4] after they were nominated by their Division of Plasma Physics in 2007, [5] for fundamental studies of radio-frequency heating and plasma-wall interactions, including the first observation of Alfvén wave heating in a tokamak, the first demonstration of mode-conversion current drive, and pioneering work in the use of liquid lithium as a plasma-facing component.
