South-North Workshop on Mathematical and Computational Methods in Fusion Science

June 1 till 5, 2025

The advancement of fusion science is a critical global endeavor that requires innovative mathematical methods to solve complex problems in plasma physics, magnetic confinement and energy optimization. The conference on ``Mathematical Methods in Fusion Science'', organized in the Middle East, presents a unique opportunity to foster regional collaboration, bridge knowledge gaps, and accelerate contributions to this transformative and strategic field. This conference will bring together mathematicians, physicists, and engineers to discuss cutting-edge developments in numerical simulations, optimization algorithms, machine learning applications, and control theory for fusion reactors. This event could catalyze regional expertise in fusion science.

Key Objectives

Introduce Arab and Middle Eastern scientists to cutting-edge advancements in fusion science, plasma physics, and enabling technologies.
Promoting interdisciplinary research between mathematics and physics on the topic of fusion energy.
Strengthening ties between Arab and Middle Eastern researchers (south) and advanced fusion programs (north).
Elevate the profiles of AUB and Lebanon in advanced energy research, attracting investment and talent.
