2026 Lecture Series: Shaping the Future of Energy with Fusion Science

College of Science 2026 Lecture Series Today's Science, Tomorrow's World University of Arizona Harnessing the Power of Stars: Shaping the Future of Energy with Fusion Science Live from Centennial Hall on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at 7:00pm MST with Dr. Lise-Marie Imbert-Gerard Nuclear fusion, the reaction that powers the Sun, offers the promise of a clean, safe, and abundant energy source capable of meeting the ever-growing global demand. Today, the stellarator — one of the earliest types of toroidal devices developed to confine fusion fuel with magnetic fields and control the reaction — is at the forefront of research and innovation across both science and engineering. Stellarator design involves strategic choices about the device’s geometry to enhance performance while reducing construction costs. In this lecture, the speaker will focus on mathematical modeling and computational methods for stellarator optimization, highlighting some key challenges, recent progress, and future goals in this field.
