معرفی
Lorenzo Frassinetti is a Professor at the Division of Electromagnetic Engineering and Fusion Science at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research focuses on fusion plasma physics, specifically tokamak operation, plasma confinement, and edge physics. Prior to his current position, he served as an Associate Professor at KTH from 2012 to 2022, and held post-doctoral research fellow positions at KTH and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan.
- Ph.D. in Physics, University of Padova, Italy (2003)
- Degree in Physics, University of Bologna, Italy (2000), Grade: 110/110 cum laude
Frassinetti's research spans multiple critical areas of fusion science including pedestal physics, edge localized modes (ELMs), divertor physics, and plasma turbulence. His work heavily involves experimental analysis from major tokamaks like JET and TCV, with particular focus on understanding transport barriers, stability properties, and power exhaust challenges. Recent work demonstrates increasing emphasis on predictive modeling for next-generation devices like ITER and the Divertor Tokamak Test facility.
His recent publications reveal strong trends toward predictive modeling for future fusion devices, with significant focus on the Divertor Tokamak Test facility (DTT) scenarios. There's notable emphasis on understanding the effects of plasma shaping, particularly negative triangularity, and developing control strategies for disruptions. His work bridges experimental observations from JET and other tokamaks with theoretical models to address critical challenges for ITER operation.
Frassinetti actively participates in major international fusion research collaborations, particularly within the EUROfusion consortium, contributing to JET experiments and ITER preparation efforts. His work often involves multi-institutional teams across European fusion laboratories.
His laboratory work centers around analysis of data from major European tokamaks including JET (Joint European Torus), TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable), and ASDEX Upgrade. His research group at KTH appears to focus on integrating experimental observations with theoretical models to develop predictive capabilities for next-generation fusion devices.
