Theory Group in IFS

The Theory Group conducts research in theoretical plasma physics and fusion energy science, with studies of magnetic plasma confinement as well as fusion-relevant basic plasma topics. Particular emphasis is placed on fundamental issues of long-range significance. The theory research being pursued at IFS is diverse, including plasma macro-stability, plasma turbulence and anomalous transport, energetic particle physics, plasma-boundary interactions, and nonlinear plasma dynamics. Numerical simulations are instrumental in most IFS research.
