Our group member Jos\u00e9 Lorenzo has been awarded with a prestigious EUROfusion Engineering Grant (EEG)<\/strong> for his project Structural Analyses of DEMO Magnets<\/em>. The grant has started on January 1st 2020 and will last three years.<\/p>\n

This is the second time that our research group wins this grant<\/strong>. Formerly Albert Guti\u00e9rrez was awarded an EGG for the project entitled Software Engineering: Development of High Performance Computing capability for fusion workflows, integrated to the ITER Modelling framework<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

EUROfusion<\/a> opens every year two calls for candidates to encourage excellence and career development of young engineers and researchers<\/strong> who are already in the programme and to attract high quality candidates from outside the programme: EUROfusion Researcher grants<\/a> (ERG)<\/strong> and EUROfusion Engineering Grants<\/a> (EEG)<\/strong>. As a result of the last call, the ERG will fund 11 post-doctoral candidates for a period of 2 years in topics relevant to the objectives of the European Fusion Programme, and the EEG will fund 21 engineers for a period of 3 years for specific key areas defined by the EUROfusion Programme Manager.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9’s grant is framed within the activities of EUROfusion WPMAG<\/strong> (Work Package Magnet System), in charge of the pre-conceptual design of the DEMO magnet system. The project aims at assessing the structural performance of DEMO superconducting magnets and will be developed in close collaboration with other institutions<\/strong>: EUROfusion<\/a>, SPC<\/a>, F4E<\/a> and ENEA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Lorenzo is a research engineer at BSC Fusion Group since January 2019. For one year his activities have focused on the development of tools to simulate High-Temperature Superconductors using High-Performance Computing techniques in MareNostrum IV supercomputer<\/strong>. In the past he has participated in the thermal analysis of superconducting magnets for particle accelerators at CERN<\/a>. He holds a MSc in Industrial Engineering from Universidad de Sevilla in 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
