During the weeks of June 5th-15th 2023, PPPL will virtually host an intensive course on plasma physics and fusion energy sciences, taught by world renowned scientists from various national and international institutions. The course is targeted at undergraduate students interested in plasma physics and fusion energy science and is open to public at large.
Registration is free and participants that attend the full course will receive a certificate of completion.
The introductory course will be fully conducted via Zoom, and in half-day sessions (12PM-5PM ET) 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.
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:
Due to the public nature of this event, all participants and speakers are asked to abide by a code of conduct.
