PhD in Fusion Plasma Physics and Nuclear Engineering: Runaway-Electron Damage Modelling KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden

This doctoral project at KTH Royal Institute of Technology addresses a key challenge in fusion energy: how to understand and predict damage to plasma-facing components under extreme conditions. The work focuses on plasma-facing components (PFCs) exposed to runaway electrons, a disruption-related phenomenon that can threaten reactor components and reduce lifetime. The PhD student will develop modelling tools for simulating runaway-electron-induced damage and validate them against experimental evi...
