Overview

Be Born the Cosmic Energy on Earth

We aim to further studies on fusion energy, by fostering high quality researchers who can provide international leadership in the field. Graduates from our program will be able to use their advanced expertise in experimental physics and theoretical research on the confinement and stability of high temperature plasmas to contribute to society, conduct research in simulation science to elucidate these physical phenomena, and conduct elemental research on fusion reactor technology, including heating, measurement, superconductivity, and materials technology.
