« A travel through the European approach to fusion, with a brief stop at burning plasma physics »
Abstract
The European Fusion Roadmap for reaching fusion energy on earth and its articulation into eight missions will be described.
Examples of recent achievements in Horizon 2020 will be presented.
The approach taken for Horizon Europe and the relevant plans and expected sequence of events will be introduced,
As an interlude, some aspects of burning plasma physics will be discussed.
Dr. Josefine Proll - Max Planck Institute
Josefine Proll is an Associate Professor in the Departmen
t of Applied Physics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). She obtained her BSc in Physics from the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany. She then obtained a MSc in Physics from Imperial College London, working at the British fusion lab CCFE near Oxford. Following this, she obtained her PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany, currently home to the Wendelstein 7-X fusion experiment. She was a postdoctoral fellow within the Max-Planck/Princeton Center for Plasma Physics from 2014 to 2015 and working under a Helmholtz PostDoc Grant from 2015 to 2016, after which she started her position in Eindhoven. In her work, Josefine investigates turbulent transport in the plasma core, and investigates how the shape of the confining magnetic field influences the severity of the turbulent transport. For this she collaborates closely with experimentalists and theoreticians from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Germany, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton, USA, the National Institute for Fusion Science, Toki, Japan and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA.
