Presenter

Wenlu Zhang is a professor of physics and the director of Fusion Plasma Physic at Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. I am devoted to theoretical and simulation research on turbulence and transport in fusion plasmas, the crucial next step in the quest for clean and abundant fusion energy.

I am the core developer of GTC, which is a well benchmarked massively parallel particle-in-cell code for integrated simulations of confinement properties of burning plasmas. I am also the leader of the multi-institutional collaborative optimization work for both the Tianhe 1, Tianhe 2 and upcoming Tianhe 3 supercomputers of China, and the Summit supercomputer of US.
