General Atomics operates the DIII-D National Fusion Facility (contracted by the USDOE), which is an internationally renowned tokamak research facility located in San Diego, California. Its mission is to establish the scientific basis for the optimization of the tokamak approach to fusion energy production. Please refer to the web site http://fusion.gat.com for more information about the DIII-D National Fusion Program.
Participate in the development of an integrated modeling tool for applications of MHD equilibrium, transport, and stability codes to model Tokamak experiments and future devices. Participate in the development of a 3D equilibrium reconstruction tool for tokamaks with non-axisymmetric perturbation coils. Participate in 3D equilibrium analysis and integrated modeling of tokamak experiments and future devices and perform verification and validation of modeling codes. Present and publish research results at professional meetings and refereed journals
