Arthur Peeters

Prof. Arthur Peeters is a Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Warwick, affiliated with the Physics Centre for Fusion, Space & Astrophysics. His research focuses on nuclear fusion, plasma physics, and gyro-kinetic theory. He leads the Gyro-Kinetics@Warwick (GKW) project, which develops computational models to study turbulent dynamics in tokamak plasmas.

His work addresses energy confinement challenges in fusion reactors, including anomalous momentum transport and micro-instabilities. The GKW code solves gyro-kinetic equations to assess turbulent fluxes of particles, energy, and momentum in magnetic confinement systems.

Key contributions include analyzing Coriolis drift effects on momentum transport and validating gyro-kinetic simulations against ASDEX Upgrade experiments. His research integrates high-performance computing to explain observed plasma transport phenomena.

Prof. Peeters' expertise spans theoretical and computational plasma physics, with applications to fusion energy development.
