Abstract<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The world energy demand is getting higher and higher, but the fossil sources are rapidly exhausting, not to speak of their environmental impact. The need for alternative, sustainable energy sources is strong. Among those, nuclear fusion represents one of the top choices, but its complexity is overwhelmingly demanding: high-energy physics to be controlled, incredibly large magnetic fields to be generated with high accuracy and driven accordingly to tightly controlled waveforms. Not to speak of the intrinsically unstable nature of a burning plasma! The technology behind a possible reactor represents one of the most advanced research frontiers in engineering. This short seminar aims to deliver a gentle introduction to the physics of magnetically confined thermonuclear fusion, showing the achievements but also the critical aspects of this promising technology.<\/p>\n

About the Speaker<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Alessandro Formisano holds a MS in Electronic Engineering from Univ. di Napoli \u201cFederico II\u201d and a PhD in Electrical Sciences from the same university. He is full professor of Electrical Sciences since 2016 at Universit\u00e0 della Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d.
\nProfessor Formisano interests are in the numerical computation of electromagnetic fields, in the resolution of inverse problems in electromagnetism, in the machine learning approaches, and finally in the engineering aspects of nuclear fusion. He was Co-Chairman of the 2020 Edition of the CEFC, and is the general chairman of the Compumag 2025 conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
