An inspiring conversation with Dr. Francesco Sciortino, co-founder and CEO of Proxima Fusion, which is a start-up company aiming to design and build an optimized stellerator fusion device. Join us as he illuminates the reasoning behind their bo
In this episode, Daan J. Boer (PhD student at TU Eindhoven) talks about a novel data platform called LXCat-3. The platform is supposed to replace the current version of the well-established LXCat to provide atomic and molecular data, such as el
This episode features Dr. Simon van Mulders, a recent graduate from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) who specialized in model-based optimization of tokamak plasma scenarios. After the release of the DeepMind article about using M
This episode features Dr. Teobaldo Luda, a plasma physicist at IPP Garching who specializes in the modelling of a enigmatic aspect of a high-performance fusion plasma, the plasma pedestal. Join us as he lays out the known facts about this featu
In this episode, Tobias Gergs (Ruhr University Bochum, Germany) talks about machine learning (ML) in low temperature plasmas. First, we introduce the concepts of ML and deep learning. Then, we give some examples of work on ML for plasma process
This episode brings on two PhD students from the DIFFER institute, Maria Morbey and Laura Fumagalli, who have taken a brave step in agreeing to openly share their experiences about being women in the (currently) largely male-dominated field of
This episode features Lorenzo Zanisi, a data scientist working at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) to apply machine learning models to accelerate fusion computations. Our conversation covers some brief introduction to the conc
In this episode, we talk about turbulent transport in tokamak boundaries with Dr. Maurizio Giacomin (University of York, UK). We introduce the main equations, assumptions, and numerical methods that are used to describe transport in tokamaks bo
A lively conversation with Jan van Steenlandt, a Master's student at the University of Eindhoven, who has travelled to the University of Twente to study how mechanical stress can cause a specific high-temperature superconductor, BSCCO (bismuth
In this episode, Professor Vasco Guerra (IST Lisbon, Portugal) gives an overview of the different plasma technologies for conversion of carbon dioxide and nitrogen into chemicals and fuels and he explains the role of plasmas for a decarbonized
We wrap up some considerations from the first Season of this Podcast and we have some announcements for the next Season. Stay tuned in 2023 for new epsodes on fusion and plasma science! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati
Our guest this episode is Darío Cruz, the Executive Officer of the FuseNet organization. He explains the mission and activities of FuseNet, it's role in the field of fusion, and shares his opinions on the education efforts on fusion science and
A lively chat with Dr. Alex Fontana about career developments and reserch. Alex studied physics in Padua (Italy) and then he moved to Lyon (France) for a PhD in experimental physics. In this episode, Alex shares with us some tips for career dev
This episode features Prof. dr. Niek Lopes Cardozo, a prominent fusion researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology and a former vice-chair of European Domestic Agency of ITER. We embark on a communicative journey around the transition
Our guest today, Paul Mulholland, is a PhD candidate at the Eindhoven University of Technology, studying fusion plasma turbulence from a theoretical and modelling standpoint. His background in theoretical physics provides him a deeper understan
Our guest today is Dr. Pedro Viegas, currently postdoctoral researcher at the University of Lisbon. With Pedro, we explore recent advancements in the field of plasma jets and interaction with surfaces. Plasma jets are nowadays used for medicine
Our guest today, Chris Orrico, is a Master student finishing up his thesis at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands. Arriving to the fusion field from a more engineering background, he discusses both the technical and
Rouven Lamprecht, PhD student at Kiel University (Germany), talks about the topic of his research that is about neuromorphic hardware. As a difference with standard CMOS technology, this hardware draws inspiration from biological principles. I
This episode takes a brand-new turn for us at CoffeeBreakDown, going live on location at the FuseNet PhD Event in Padua, Italy. We feature 11 talented and enthusiastic PhD students from all around Europe! They share a little bit about their wor
As a compliment to our previous episode on experimental edge plasma research, we bring on Dr. Jorge González on this episode to discuss approaches to these research topics from a modelling perspective. He shares his experiences with modelling t
A lively chat with Dr. Renato Perillo, a postdoctoral researcher in fusion science at the University of California San Diego. We discuss about current and future challenges in fusion research, including particle transport, instabilities, and po
A chat with Dr. Daan van Vugt, founder of Ignition Computing, about the culture of open-source software, from both professional and personal viewpoints. Ignition Computing is a recent startup company, which boasts among its roles a contract by
We talk about sustainability and green energy with Prof. Thomas Butterworth and Tim Righart. Tom and Tim are researchers on plasma technology working at the Brightlands Chemelot Campus in Geleen (the Netherlands). In this episode, we discuss ab
A light-hearted chat with Dr. Ray Chandra and returning guest, Dr. Michele Marin. In this episode, we critique the portrayal of fusion reactors in mainstream science-fiction media, analyzing them based on their attention to the science behind f
A chat with Dr. Jacob Stephens, assistant professor at Texas Tech University (USA), about data management and data sharing for plasma models. In this Episode, we introduce the Plasma Data Exchange Project and, in particular, the LXCat project t
