The program opens with four days of tutorials that will provide an introduction to major themes of the entire program and the four workshops. The goal is to build a foundation for the participants of this program who have diverse scientific backgrounds.

Topics

• Magnetic Confinement in tokamaks and stellarators
• Plasma models in fusion research & basic plasma processes
• Turbulence and zonal flows in stellarator systems
• Computation plasma physics for turbulence and integrated modeling of transport
• Fusion materials
• Learning models from data
• Inverse and forward uncertainty quantification
• Robust Optimization
• Multi-fidelity methods
• Inertial Confinement

For those participating in the long program, please plan to attend Opening Day on March 9, 2026 as well.
