The internal lab manual, including account setup, VPN, cluster access, Slack, NAS, internal rules, meeting links, emergency contacts, and administrative procedures, should be maintained in a private Notion space and should not be published on the public homepage.

Research Culture

FPL works at the intersection of plasma physics, numerical simulation, scientific computing, and fusion engineering.

Research in this field is challenging because it requires a combination of:

• Physics understanding
• Mathematical modeling
• Numerical implementation
• Code verification
• Data analysis
• Visualization
• Communication
• Collaboration

Difficult problems are expected. We approach them step by step.

How to Research

Research is not only about finding answers. It is also about asking precise questions, making assumptions explicit, testing ideas, and communicating results clearly.

A good research process includes:

1. Understand the physical problem.
