Established in the early 1960’s, the plasma science and fusion research program at UW is one of the largest university programs in these areas. The program includes several plasma confinement experiments, collaborations at national and international experiments, a cross-disciplinary theory and computation effort, and a comprehensive fusion technology program.
The Departments of Physics, Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Astronomy host the research and education programs in plasma science and fusion energy at UW. Please explore the groups and research areas below, and please reach out to faculty for information about graduate education opportunities.
