Hi there! I'm Haluk. Are you interested/studying in fusion and want to learn more about it to
decide whether to pursue a career in this field? Do you want to meet people in fusion? If so,
PlasmaSurf is the program you are looking for! I attended PlasmaSurf 2024 summer school,
and it was an amazing experience filled with lectures, acdvides, and many incredible people,
all passionate about fusion.
I met many people with backgrounds in physics and a few from engineering. They all have
different desires and thoughts they want to pursue in their careers and asking them about
their reasons and listening to their stories really helped me clarify what I want personally and
whether I am on the right path as a to be fusion engineer.
To be honest, I attended this summer school to meet people who are involved or want to
work in fusion, to get their thoughts on the field, and to learn about what they are doing
now so I can decide what I might do in the future. PlasmaSurf provided that perfectly. It had
a good balance between lectures and activities to connect with people. In the lectures, you
get introductions to different fusion topics, and after the lectures, there is an activity each
day.
The activities are great for a first-time experience. I had never done them before, so they
were really exciting: kayaking, rock climbing, surfing, mountain boarding, and a small walk in
the city on the last day. We also got to see the ISTTOK tokamak at IPFN on the last day.
It was truly a unique experience!
I would like to thank IPFN and FuseNet for this great program and financial support
