A tutorial on automatic differentiation for scientific design: practical, elegant and powerful

FusionEPtalks 09/03/2021: In the tutorial, you will hopefully understand the fundamentals of how AD works in theory and how it is used in practice.

Kinetic models of the fusion plasma edge

FusionEPtalks 30/11/2020: This masterclass will give a kinetic view on plasma edge dynamics, which significantly differs from well accepted fluid pictures.

A practical introduction to the H-mode pedestal: ELM and ELM-free regimes

FusionEPtalks 05/11/2020: In this talk, we will cover the basics of why the H-mode pedestal forms and how it interacts with the plasma.Fundamental theoretical and experimental understandings of ELMs will be discussed.

Transport dynamics in turbulent magnetically confined fusion plasmas

FusionEPtalks 30/07/20: In this special "masterclass," Prof. Raul Sanchez of UC3M discusses complex transport behaviour, implications for plasma confinement, and how these kind of regimes might be more properly modelled.
