The presence of high-Z number impurities which emit large energy losses from thermonuclear plasmas is one of the obstacles to achieve the commercialization of fusion energy. My research is focused on studying the physics and control of these impurities in magnetically confined plasmas, particularly those of tokamak reactors, in new operational regimes which suppress or decrease the intensity of MHD instabilities at the plasma edge (ELMs). Developing plasmas diagnostic systems, such as spectroscopy, magnetic diagnostics and laser ablations at the UC Plasmas Group is key for this task and connects the work of our laboratories with the large experiments of nuclear fusion around the world.
