Invited talk: Federico Felici, "Magnetic control of tokamak plasmas through Deep Reinforcement Learning"

Federico Felici is a Research Scientist at the Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) at EPFL, Lausanne. He holds an MSc degree in Systems & Control from Delft University of Technology (2005) and a PhD in Plasma Physics from the Swiss Plasma Center at EPFL, Switzerland (2011). He currently leads the research activities at SPC-EPFL in the area of advanced plasma control. His current research interests include all aspects of tokamak plasma control and control-oriented plasma modelling, with a strong focus on model-based approaches for practical implementation of control across various current and future fusion research devices.
