Excited to announce the release of TORAX, a tokamak transport simulator from our @GoogleDeepMind Fusion team! #fusionenergy

- Open-source: https://t.co/QCobr8mTsJ
- Uses JAX: fast, differentiable
- Easy coupling of ML-surrogates

@SwissPlasma @FusionInCloseUp @GeneralFusion @fusionforenergy @iterorg @EPFL_en Hi @SwissPlasma we at the Swiss Plasma Center at EPFL are curious who you are, could we please get in touch? 😀

[Federico Felici @ffelici]

We're #hiring! Looking for a skilled control systems / software engineer to join the our team and help advance fusion science. Know anyone who may be interested?

Tonight I'll be presenting our recent paper on use of reinforcement learning to control a nuclear fusion plasma at the (online) Clubhouse Science Society! Join us at 19CET to learn more about this work and to pitch your questions.…https://t.co/evH7NplUzt https://t.co/NmYRXDvyIh

[EPFL @EPFL_en]

Scientists at EPFL’s Swiss Plasma Center & @DeepMind have developed a new magnetic control method for plasmas based on deep reinforcement learning and applied it to a real-world plasma for the 1st time in the @TCV_tokamak research facility. #nuclearfusion

Very happy to share my secret project for the last 3 years: we were busy getting AI to run a nuclear fusion reactor. Spoiler alert: it works!
Deep reinforcement learning is pretty great at working with sci-fi things where human intuitions tend to break down.

[Google DeepMind @GoogleDeepMind]

Today in @nature, with @EPFL, the first deep reinforcement learning system that can keep nuclear fusion plasma stable inside its tokamaks, opening new avenues to advance nuclear fusion research.

OK, this is one I’ve been waiting to share for a *long* time – the first ever demonstration of deep reinforcement learning on a nuclear fusion research device! https://t.co/HVfUCrMTlM

[MPI für Plasmaphysik (IPP) @PlasmaphysikIPP]

Researchers from @EPFL_en and @DeepMind are developing AI to control plasmas in #fusionresearch. "This article truly presents a breakthrough in the use of machine learning in the fusion context," judges IPP director Thomas Sunn Pedersen. #fusionenergy https://t.co/0ugmf6r1zj

[Federico Felici @ffelici]

Thrilled to announce our paper in Nature on using reinforcement learning for magnetic control of the TCV tokamak! Proud of this great collaboration between @epfl and @Deepmind

@ThiesJansen_14 Kon je niet vinden en toen was er plotseling een NS snelbus.. toch bedankt!

[Federico Felici @ffelici]

@ThiesJansen_14 Ok ik kom er aan! Ben er 21:00

[Federico Felici @ffelici]

@ThiesJansen_14 Ik rijd graag met je mee? Waar start je en hoe laat?

[Federico Felici @ffelici]

@ThiesJansen_14 @Droomplekken Heb je nog een tweede plek vrij @ThiesJansen_14?
