Tünde-Maria Fülöp

Tünde-Maria Fülöp is a Professor at the Department of Subatomic, High Energy and Plasma Physics at Chalmers University of Technology. Her research focuses on theoretical plasma physics, particularly magnetic fusion energy and laser-driven particle acceleration. She leads a research group (http://ft.nephy.chalmers.se) exploring plasma stability, impurity dynamics, and fast particle behavior in fusion devices like tokamaks and laser-driven systems.

• Expertise: Plasma instability, runaway electron dynamics, and plasma-wall interactions
• Key Projects: ITER disruption mitigation, SPARC tokamak modeling, and DREAM framework development

Her work bridges fundamental plasma physics with applied fusion engineering, addressing challenges like plasma confinement optimization and disruption prevention. Recent studies include magnetic reconnection mechanisms, pellet injection effects, and synchrotron radiation diagnostics for runaway electrons.

Publications span plasma physics journals (e.g., Journal of Plasma Physics, Nuclear Fusion) and conferences (EPS, APS). Research emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining kinetic modeling, Bayesian optimization, and advanced simulation techniques.
