The FIA Policy Conference brings together professions from across the sector.
Columbia Engineering has announced the launch of its new minor in fusion energy, an innovative program designed to provide Engineering students an opportunity to engage with fusion while completing their main degree. This new program prepares students to work in the fusion industry or other high-tech sectors or to pursue graduate studies in fusion or plasma physics.
“Advancing progress in fusion will require expertise across disciplines,” said Dean of Columbia Engineering Shih-Fu Chang. “With this minor, we are preparing students with a solid foundation they can build on to join in this…
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Columbia Fusion Research Center have signed a new practical arrangement aimed at strengthening international collaboration in fusion research, education, and training.
We are proud to announce that Ben Zhu has joined the APAM Department as an Assistant Professor of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics.
After a distinguished career at Columbia University, Professor Michael E. Mauel has retired and is now Professor Emeritus of Applied Physics.
Columbia University presented over 100 talks at the 67th APS Division of Plasma Physics meeting, featuring invited presentations on disruption avoidance, runaway electron mitigation, stellarator design, and burning plasma dynamics. The meeting also included undergraduate research sessions and a two-day conference on private fusion companies.
