  • CoffeeBreakDown is a podcast-style channel with chats hosted by two budding scientists, Aaron and Luca. Our objective is to strengthen connections between the scientific world and the general public, starting with the field of plasma physics. Specifically, we believe that the expression of the more creative and human side of science is a crucial aspect that is often neglected in our community, as opposed to the technical and factual one. Along those lines, this project is also intended as an avenue to accelerate our learning, both as scientists and as communicators. We aim to provide a relaxed environment for scientists to share their viewpoints about their experiences working in science and their research field. All are welcome to tune in and maybe even join the conversation!

  • Proxima Fusion and the Transition to Industry

    Proxima Fusion and the Transition to Industry
    Nov 13 2023
    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 bold conceptual design and their vision of a sleek optimization stack combining simulation software and hardware manufacturing. He also shares some personal wisdom and stories about moving beyond the scientific domain and into entrepreneurship. For those wishing to learn more about or get involved with Proxima, check out their website: https://www.proximafusion.com.

  • A Novel Data Platform for Plasma Physics

    A Novel Data Platform for Plasma Physics
    Oct 29 2023
    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 electron impact cross sections and measured transport parameters, that are fundamental for the low temperature plasmas (LTP) community. The conversation starts by defining standards for plasma modeling and simulations. We talk about the importance of LXCat for the LTP community and novel approaches for improving this platform. Then, we present the first tutorial of the LXCat-3 platform and we discuss future developments of databases for sets of reaction mechanisms beyond charged-neutral particles interaction.

  • Containing a Star: A Control Problem?

    Containing a Star: A Control Problem?
    Aug 29 2023
    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 ML models for plasma shape control, a new wave of interest has surged into the development of advanced plasma control algorithms, which take advantage of model-based techniques for plasma state estimation. Join us as we delve into the world of control engineering, the application of plasma physics models within, and its contributions towards the goal of harnessing the power of the sun.
