Tremendous progress has been made in magnetic confinement fusion research over the past decades, culminating in the recent world record energy output recorded at JET. However, the challenge of achieving a self-sustaining plasma remains.

We propose to conduct global MHD simulations of the whole Solar convection zone. This first-of-a-kind simulation will connect internal dynamo simulations to the surface of the Sun on a global scale.

This project develops multi-scale Test-Time-Training (TTT) memory: a green, sub-quadratic foundation model architecture in which several recurrent memory modules update at different temporal scales, with explicit lateral state transfers at shared chunk boundaries.

This project aims at studying the turbulent flow of two immiscible fluid layers of different properties, between two parallel walls of idealized rectangular channel geometry.

The understanding and tuning of the electronic properties of graphene on metals, possibly encompassing magnetism, is crucial towards the inclusion of graphene into devices, and graphene-based electronics on a large industrial scale.

This project addresses critical shortcomings in large language models (LLMs), particularly hallucinations (factually incorrect yet plausible-sounding outputs), embedded biases, and the inclusion of copyrighted material in training data.

Turbulent flows laden with drops are ubiquitous in nature and in our everyday life. These flows play a key-role in various applications, from geophysical phenomena to food and industrial processes.

Experimental explorations at RHIC and LHC have revealed the surprising fact that the long-distance behavior of the QGP closely resembles that of an almost inviscid fluid.

Quantum Chromodynamics has yielded a huge amount of understanding about how the nucleon and other hadrons are built from quarks and gluons, the fundamental degrees of freedom in QCD.
