“Multi-Fidelity Methods for Fusion Energy” is the Spring 2026 long program at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA. In this webinar, Selenne Bañuelos, the Associate Director of IPAM, explains the resources provided to long program resident scholars. She is joined by Frank Jenko of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics for an overview of the long program content, beginning at 05:36.
The themes of the four main week-long workshops are introduced by:
16:38 Emily Belli of General Atomics “Multi-Fidelity Methods for Fusion Plasma Physics”
22:02 Ionut-Gabriel Farcas of Virginia Tech “Learning Models from Data for Multi-Fidelity Fusion Plasma Physics”
25:00 Elizabeth Paul of Columbia University “Fusion Device Design and Engineering”
27:38 Tim Wildey of Sandia National Laboratories “Multi-Fidelity Methods to Enable Robust Optimization and Real-Time Control of Fusion Processes”
