Independent research foundation developing machine learning surrogates for tokamak simulation codes.
Research
We apply machine learning methods to accelerate computational workflows in fusion transport modeling — developing surrogates for gyrokinetic transport codes and validating against established physics benchmarks. We build on open-source tools and JAX, and commit to publishing our methods and code openly.
Activity
Tulp Fusion served on the organizing committee for the 14th ITER International School on Integrated Modelling, held in Aix-en-Provence — bringing together over 200 students and lecturers from 39 countries. ITER Newsline →
