From June 30^th to July 4^th, Hernán Domingo attended the 14^th International ITER School on Integrated Modelling in Magnetic Fusion Plasmas, held in Aix-en-Provence, France. The event, organized primarily by Aix-Marseille University, CEA and ITER Organization , brought together over 200 participants from diverse backgrounds, all sharing a common eagerness to learn more about nuclear fusion and integrated modelling.

Our PhD student, Hernán, had the opportunity to present a poster on Alya4fusion, our latest project focused on nuclear fusion reactor simulation and integrated modelling.

Fusion Group contributions at the BSC Doctoral Symposium 2025

May 21, 2025

From May 6^th to 8^th, two members of our Fusion group, Pau Manyer and Hernán Domingo, participated in the 12th International BSC Severo Ochoa Doctoral Symposium 2025, presenting the latest progress and results of their ongoing projects. This event provides an opportunity for MSc and PhD students, as well as early postdoctoral scientists, to present their research projects in either oral or poster format. This edition saw more than 40 participants from a variety of backgrounds disseminate their research topics and achievements.

Alya4fusion at the 51^st IOP Annual Plasma Physics Conference

Hernan Domingo presenting Alya4fusion at the 51^st IOP Annual Plasma Physics Congress.

From April 7^th to 10^th, our PhD student Hernán Domingo, had the opportunity to attend the 51^st IOP Annual Plasma Physics Conference, held at the Institute of Physics headquarters in London. The event brought together experts and researchers from all over the UK and beyond to share the latest developments in plasma physics and fusion research.

During the conference, Hernán presented our work on “Alya4fusion: A Digital Twin framework for nuclear fusion reactors”, a project led by our group. Alya4fusion is an ambitious initiative aiming to become the first unified multiphysics, fully coupled simulation framework for fusion reactors, designed to run on high-performance computing (HPC) systems.
