During the weeks of June 14th-25th 2021, students accepted in the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program and other fusion/plasma undergraduate intenship programs throughout the US, will participate in an intensive course on plasma physics and fusion energy sciences, taught by world renowned scientists from various national and international institutions. Due to the unusual circunstances of the 2021 Summer term, the introductory course will be fully conducted via Zoom, and in half-day sessions in order to accomodate various time zones. The content will reflect the broad research under the Fusion Energy Sciences and Plasma Physics umbrella, including discovery plasma sciences, magnetic fusion energy, fusion materias and technology and high energy density plasmas.
Registration for the course is closed, but the entire course will be streamed live, recorded, and uploaded on this site and available regardless of enrollment status.
All of the talks will be presented in the following Zoom webinar. It will go live June 14th, at 11:45amET:
All participants that want to follow along in the computational workshop should make sure they have the Anaconda Python environment installed in their computers. Follow these instructions to do so.
Due to the public nature of this event, all participants and speakers are asked to abide by a code of conduct.
