Mikaela Iacobelli receives SNSF Starting Grant

23 Nov 2024

Congratulations to Professor Mikaela Iacobelli. She is one of eight candidates from ETH Zurich who have received a Starting Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

 

 

Project description in brief:

A plasma is a dynamic mixture of freely moving charged particles. When these particles are in a magnetic field, complex interactions occur between them. These interactions are characterised by two things: the dynamics of the motion and the order imposed by the magnetic field. A whole field of mathematical research – kinetic theory – is dedicated to describing such systems. Mikaela Iacobelli is a professor in the Department of Mathematics. In her project, she will develop important mathematical foundations for this field of research, in particular on how energy is transferred between particles and how the systems reach a stable equilibrium. These insights will also benefit research into nuclear fusion and its application to energy production.
