#36 – Assoc. Prof. Murtazo Nazarov: Fusion Energy and the Quest to Harness the Power of the Sun

What is nuclear fusion, and how close are we to achieving limitless, clean energy? In this episode of Tidslinjen Podcast, Ilir Demir sits down with Murtazo Nazarov, associate professor in scientific computing at Uppsala University, to unpack the science, simulations, and future of fusion energy.🚀 Learn how researchers are using supercomputers, mathematical models, and plasma simulations to replicate the sun's energy here on Earth.🔥 Discover the real-world challenges of building fusion reactors, including managing 150 million°C plasma, magnetic confinement, and controlling instabilities inside tokamak reactors.🧠 Assoc. Prof. Nazarov also explains how AI and machine learning are accelerating fusion research — and how his team’s breakthrough in structure-preserving numerical methods is helping shape the fusion future.🎓 Whether you're a science enthusiast, a curious student, or just want to understand why fusion is always "30 years away", this is the deep-dive you’ve been waiting for. @murtazonazarov5151   @Uppsalauniversitet  #FusionEnergy #MurtazoNazarov #TidslinjenPodcast #NuclearFusion #CleanEnergy #Supercomputing #PlasmaPhysics #Tokamak #ScientificComputing #AIandScience #FutureOfEnergy #UppsalaUniversity #SustainableEnergy #MathInScience #EnergyRevolution #fusion #kärnkraft #power #texas #science #vetenskap Hosted on Acast.
