FOSTER 2026 Webinar Series: Webinar 1 - Plasma Science - Curious about the physics at the heart of fusion energy? This UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) FOSTER webinar dives into the science of ultra-hot plasmas.
⚡ Plasma Science Explore turbulence, transport, heat confinement, and the challenge of achieving burning plasma regimes. Learn how tokamak design . from traditional designs to spherical tokamaks, shape the path to viable fusion power.
🎤 Speaker: Elina Militello Asp, Scenarios Team Leader, UKAEA Elina is a fusion plasma physicist with 20+ years of international experience. She leads a team of 11 scientists at UKAEA and has spent the last decade driving a pioneering @iterorganization project, helping demonstrate the feasibility of achieving 500 MW of fusion power within real engineering and operational limits.
