Research
Current Research Fields
Focus on Alternative Divertor Configuration studies, both via experiments and numerical modelling in EUROfusion devices.
This involves design, coordination, and analyses of experiments in different tokamak devices within the EUROfusion framework. The analyses are supported by multi-fluid & kinetic simulations with state-of-the-art numerical tools for divertor physics largely employed by the community, that are also improved and developed within the scope of the work.
