The Institute is a world-renowned laboratory conducting pioneering research in the field of magnetic fusion science, being the home of the Wendelstein 7-X Stellarator. Our international research team focuses on plasma physics and engineering to advance sustainable energy solutions through controlled fusion reactions. One of the research objectives is to path the way for the stellarator concept towards its realization as a commercial fusion reactor. To this end, plasma physics and reactor-specific engineering aspects needs to be integrated to answer complex research questions about the trade-off and entanglement of physical processes and the surrounding technical components. The research group SRS is intrinsically multidisciplinary and covers a broad range of topics from reactor physics scenarios to neutron transport and structural engineering, to name only few.
