Turbulence, a ubiquitous feature of the high-energy plasmas needed to instigate nuclear fusion, can severely limit the performance of the devices used to contain them, and our ability to make fusion energy a commercial reality. In his doctoral research Francesco Sciortino leaned heavily on MIT’s Engaging Cluster as he sought to advance understanding of the effects of turbulence on particle dynamics inside tokamak fusion devices like the Alcator C-Mod tokamak at MIT and the DIII-D tokamak at General Atomics, in San Diego, CA.
