The University of Wisconsin fusion research program is divided between plasma physics and fusion reactor technology studies. Both research and teaching are the integrated efforts of several departments, with a substantial number of courses available to both graduate and undergraduate students. The program has been successful in producing students for the national controlled thermonuclear research program. It has also produced significant research results, particularly in the toroidal confinement and conceptual reactor design fields.
