Thank you for your interest in our research activities.

FPL develops plasma simulation tools and computational methods for nuclear fusion research. Our work combines plasma theory, numerical simulation, high-performance computing, mesh technology, data-driven modeling, and visualization.

Research Topics of Interest

Gyrokinetics and Turbulence Transport

We study plasma turbulence and transport processes in nuclear fusion plasmas using gyrokinetic theory and simulation.

Topics include:

• Gyrokinetic simulation
• Turbulence-driven transport
• Magnetic island and turbulence interaction
• KSTAR validation studies
• Nonlinear kinetic modeling

Core-Edge-SOL Integrated Modeling

We are interested in integrated modeling across the core, edge, scrape-off layer, and plasma-facing boundary regions.

Topics include:

• Core-edge-SOL coupling
• Integrated modeling for fusion reactor design
• Plasma-neutral interaction
• Divertor-relevant modeling
• SOLPS-ITER and NEO coupling strategies
