Fabio Subba

Fabio Subba is an Associate Professor at the Department of Energy (DENERG) of Politecnico di Torino. His primary research focuses on plasma physics and nuclear fusion, particularly addressing power exhaust challenges in next-generation tokamak reactors like ITER and DEMO. He collaborates with international institutions such as EUROFusion, DTT, and private companies like Commonwealth Fusion Systems.

• Teaching: Leads the 'Nuclear Fusion Reactor Physics' course for Energy and Nuclear Engineering students and collaborates on thermofluid dynamics courses.
• Research: Specializes in edge plasma simulations, divertor design, and disruption mitigation. Active in projects like the DTT divertor test facility and EU-DEMO modeling.
• Grants/Projects: Manages national PRIN-funded projects (e.g., 'ND - Nanomaterials for Fusion') and industry partnerships (ITER Organization agreement).
• Students: Advises PhD and MSc students on topics like runaway electron dynamics and divertor configurations.
• Labs/Teams: Member of the NEMO Research Group, focusing on computational plasma modeling and fusion reactor engineering.

His work emphasizes numerical simulations to optimize plasma-wall interactions and ensure safe, efficient fusion energy production.
