Tünde Fülöp is a theoretical plasma physicist and her research focus is magnetic fusion and laser-plasma accelerators. Plasma physics is a subfield of physics which brings together electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, wave-particle interaction, relativistic effects and subatomic physics. Applications range from cancer therapy and lightning initiation, to fusion devices for large scale energy production. Her research focus is set on plasma stability, impurity transport, runaway particles and radiation.
In addition to Tünde Fülöp, Stefan Kröll, Lund University, was elected new swedish members of the Academy’s Class for Physics in January 2019. At the same time Richard Brenner, Uppsala University and Klaus Blaum, Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany, were elected foreign members of the Academy’s Class for Physics.
