Teaching & PhD
Courses
Plasma II
This course completes the knowledge in plasma physics that students have acquired in the previous two courses, with a discussion of different applications, in the fields of magnetic confinement and controlled fusion, astrophysical and space plasmas, and societal and industrial applications.
Fusion and industrial plasma technologies
The course provides an overview of the technologies that are essential for fusion developments and for industrial plasma
applications, highlighting the synergies between the two fields. The aim is to provide a combined theoretical and
experimental background to the various topics.
Plasma Diagnostics in Basic Plasma Physics Devices and Tokamaks: from Principles to Practice
The programme will allow students to learn plasma diagnostics and data processing methods of modern fusion experiments and to bridge the gap between diagnostics theory and experimental practice.
Control and Operation of Tokamaks
This course treats the main issues in operation and control of a tokamak. Control-oriented models are derived and controllers are designed using techniques from modern control theory. Operational limits are discussed as well as state-of-the-art research questions for future reactors.
