Ugo Siravo

Ugo Siravo is an ETS/HES Engineer at the Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) within EPFL's School of Basic Sciences (SB), specializing in TCV Tokamak Physics and International Installations. Concurrently, he serves as a Lecturer for the Doctoral School of Physics (EDPY-ENS), teaching “Fusion and industrial plasma technologies” under EPFL's Vice Presidency for Academic Affairs. His work bridges engineering execution and academic instruction in fusion energy systems.

His research spans Fusion Energy Engineering, Plasma Physics Applications, and Tokamak Technology Development, with specialized expertise in Gyrotron Systems, Neutral Beam Injection, and Electromagnetic Compatibility. This focus drives innovations in TCV tokamak operations, particularly power supply optimization, heating system integration, and ITER-related component validation. His methodology combines experimental validation with numerical simulation to solve high-power RF engineering challenges in nuclear environments.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2011-2025) reveals consistent contributions to TCV tokamak engineering, with escalating focus on ITER-compliant systems. Key trends include gyrotron collector thermal management (2023), dual-frequency operation (2019-2024), and electromagnetic compatibility for fusion environments (2011, 2017, 2023). His work demonstrates progression from component testing (2011) to integrated system optimization (2022-2025), emphasizing reliability in high-stress fusion applications.

As a Lecturer, Siravo contributes to EPFL's doctoral education in physics but no advising details or grant activities are documented. His professional identity remains anchored in engineering execution within the Swiss Plasma Center framework.

He operates within EPFL's Swiss Plasma Center (SPC), which manages the TCV tokamak—one of the world's most flexible magnetic confinement devices. The SPC maintains critical partnerships with ITER and European fusion initiatives, positioning Siravo's work at the nexus of experimental tokamak engineering and international fusion development.
