Plasma conversion technology at IPP – a contribution to chemical energy storage

Institutskolloquium
  • Datum: 28.06.2024
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 12:00
  • Vortragender: Dr. Ante Hecimovic
  • Ante Hecimovic received his PhD in Plasma Physics from Sheffield Hallam University (UK) in 2009. After that, he joined Ruhr-University Bochum (under Prof. Jörg Winter) where he established a lab for plasma diagnostics of high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS), a plasma vapour deposition method for production of thin films. The scientific findings have been assembled in a book that he co-authored entitled High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering - Fundamentals, Technologies, Challenges and Applications (Elsevier 2020). In 2017 he was one of the scientists that established the plasma for gas conversion (P4G) group at IPP, and took over the position of group leader of the P4G group. He is interested in using plasma diagnostics to develop an understanding of the dominant dissociation pathways of abundant molecules enabling the formation of value added chemicals. This knowledge is applied to tune the efficiency of molecular splitting using various plasma sources, aiming to contribute to the future chemical energy storage landscape.

How isotope physics and core-edge coupling impacts tokamak confinement

Institutskolloquium
  • Datum: 19.07.2024
  • Uhrzeit: 10:30 - 12:00
  • Vortragender: Dr. Philip Schneider
  • Philip Schneider studied physics at the LMU in Munich and became interested in plasma physics already during his studies. Both his diploma thesis and his PhD thesis focused on heat transport studies in ASDEX Upgrade. After receiving his PhD from LMU, he joined IPP as a postdoc and later as a tenured staff scientist. His research work started with heat transport studies in the plasma centre, then moved to the properties of the pedestal and its width in AUG, DIII-D and JET. After a detour to build a neutral particle analyser for fast ions, he finally returned to the plasma centre - without losing sight of the pedestal. Philip supports the AUG team as an experiment leader, diagnostician and radiation protection officer, and since 2018 he has been driving the planning and execution of the JET research task to study the influence of isotopes on transport and confinement during the JET DTE2 and DTE3 tritium campaigns.

Meg studied Human Biology at Stanford University (1997-2001) and obtained her Masters (2003) and PhD degrees (2008) in Anthropology from Harvard University. As a Postdoc she worked at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology (2008-2013). She taught as Lecturer in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at Princeton University (2009-2011) and then as Assistant Professor and Associate Professor (2013-2019) at the University of California, Davis. In recognition of her scientific accomplishments, Meg has been honored with a number of awards including the Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering (2016) and the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship (2018).

Energy systems of the future, including in particular nuclear fusion

Institutskolloquium
A step by step walk into the energy future: The next hundred years will see major changes in the energy system. The emergence of new technologies and the improvement of existing ones, in interaction with regulation, demand and overall political constraints, will shape the new system. For the time being, it is only possible to identify trends that could lead to change in the future, and to identify technological and other challenges for different system developments, without picking winners now. It is very likely that we will see more renewable energy systems being deployed, but advanced fossil fuel and nuclear technologies will be added depending on political and geographical conditions. The talk will present a three-step view of the future, starting with the current trends that will have the greatest impact in the new future, moving to a time when at least policy targets expect net zero emissions, and then to a very distant outlook when an even more holistic set of sustainability criteria is applied. The presentation tries to show that fusion could be a cornerstone in a future system that reduces more and more compromises on sustainability criteria. [mehr]
