Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicola Vianello is a Research Director and fusion plasma scientist with 15+ years driving experimental and theoretical studies across Europe, currently based in Padua and leading EUROfusion task forces on tokamak exploitation and filamentary studies. He combines deep expertise in divertor physics, turbulence, non-linear dynamics and fast particles with a strong publication record (120 peer‑reviewed articles, H‑index 26 WOS / 32 GS). Nicola has steered SOL modelling and pedestal interaction workpackages for JET and coordinated medium-size tokamak programs, bridging hands‑on experiment, advanced diagnostics and predictive modeling. His career spans leading roles at CNR, EPFL and Consorzio RFX, reflecting an ability to convert complex plasma physics into operational strategies for fusion devices. Notably, he pairs high-level coordination with technical depth in turbulence analysis and SXR tomography, often working at the interface between theory and large-scale experimental campaigns.
