Zusammenfassung

The professorship is dedicated to nonlinear dynamics in high temperature magnetized plasmas. The primary research method will be based on high performance computing. Achieving fundamental theoretical understanding of both astrophysical plasmas and laboratory plasma experiments are the central aims of the research. Within the area of magnetic confinement of fusion the professorship will focus on the study of turbulent dynamics. Understanding of turbulence is one of the great long-standing scientific challenges. Progress is particular important for fusion devices since it is the turbulen...
