PhD dissertation of Allah Rakha on Alfvénic instabilities

October 1, 2019January 30, 2020

We are delighted to announce that our group member Allah Rakha has been granted with the title of PhD in physics after successfully defending his dissertation entitled “Analysis of energetic particle-driven Alfvénic instabilities in tokamak and stellarator plasmas using three dimensional numerical tools”.

The evaluation board was composed by five members from five universities and research centers, i.e. EPFL (Switzerland), Ghent University (Belgium), Universidad de Sevilla (Spain), UC3M (Spain) and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC, Spain), to meet the requirement of his co-tutelle PhD programme at Ghent University and UPC. The defence itself took place on September 27, 2019 at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona (Spain).

Join us for two Fusion PhD defences on Friday 27th September

September 24, 2019September 25, 2019

Friday, September 27th, will be an exciting day for our group: Two members of our group, Mr Allah Rakha and Mr Daniel Gallart, will have their PhD thesis defences on that same day at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC).

Dr. Mervi Mantsinen’s presentation at EPS2019.

This year, the 46^th European Physical Society Conference on Plasma Physics (EPS2019) was held in Milan (Italy), from July 8 to 12, 2019. This annual conference is organized by the European Physical Society (EPS) Plasma Physics Division, and it covers the wide field of plasma physics from Magnetic Confinement Fusion Plasma, Beam Plasmas & Intertial Fusion, Low Temperature and Dusty Plasmas to Basic, Space & Astrophysical Plasmas. Researchers from all around the world met at this conference to show and explain their work to the growing community of plasma physicists.

RF Topical Conference 2019

2019 Radio Frequency Power in Plasmas Conference participants.

Many colleagues from the radio-frequency power in plasmas (RFPP) community travelled to Hefei (China) last week (14^th to 17^th May) in order to attend the 23^rd edition of the RFPP Conference. This conference tackles several aspects, from the engineering design of new antennas to the physics of the waves propagating inside a fusion plasma.

BSC Talks: Looking at the stars

May 3, 2019May 3, 2019

Earlier this week, BSC has posted in its YouTube account the talk given by our researchers, Dani Gallart and Xavier Sáez, in the last BSC Annual Meeting.

One of the most expected activities of the Annual Meeting was the “BSC talks” that promotes the internal knowledge about the work done at BSC. The “BSC Talks” section aims to be a showcase for BSC researchers presenting the work developed in their group to the rest of colleagues of the research center in the form of brief presentations of 10 minutes.
