Pythonic GUI Interface for TokaMaker Software
Columbia University
Eligibility
All Students
Accepts Applications Until
Dec 20, 2025
Project Duration
Flexible
Description
Scientists at Columbia have recently developed a flexible new modeling suite called TokaMaker, which is able to reconstruct equilibria, assess stability and optimize time-dependent control schemes for tokamak plasmas. This will be an essential tool in the design and preparation of future fusion energy systems. In this project, we will develop a GUI interface for the new code, focusing on flexibility in use and advances in physics understanding. The GUI will be made publicly available to the fusion community, ensuring a broad and lasting impact for the code. Applicants should have a strong coding background, preferably in python.
