An expert in thermal-hydraulic models for accident analysis, with the increase of work for the NET project and then for ITER, she began a series of collaborations with universities (e.g. Pisa, Rome La Sapienza, Polytechnic of Turin, Rome Tor Vergata) and research centers (e.g. CRE-ENEL, ENEA-Bologna and ENEA-Casaccia, INL, CEA, UKAEA, and FZK (now KIT)), and as a fusion safety expert for some activities with the IAEA. She followed and supported the training of several young engineers and PhD students. EUROfusion conveys sincere condolences to all her family. 🔗 https://euro-fusion.org/related/in-memory-of-maria-teresa-porfiri/

A new milestone in stellarator research: Scientists working with @eurofusion, @Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and @CIEMAT have successfully reproduced plasma profiles measured in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator. As part of Don A. Fernando’s PhD project, several advanced simulation codes were combined to post-dict the temperature and density profiles — with results that closely match experimental measurements. This work strengthens the validation of predictive tools for stellarator design and demonstrates the capability of Europe's 3D plasma turbulence simulation community. 🔗 https://euro-fusion.org/eurofusion-news/first-successful-post-diction-of-plasma-profiles-in-an-optimised-stellarator/ #FusionEnergy #Stellarator #W7X #PlasmaPhysics #Road2Fusion #EUROfusion #GENEcode

Once every year, the communications people from our #FuseCOM network gather together to have inspiring talks and exchange ideas on how can we tell the story of fusion better and more effectively. The next gathering will be here in Garching next week hosted by Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, and we can't wait for it to start. #FuseCOM #EUROfusion #strongertogether
