Robust Control of ECH Deposition Profiles on DIII-D
A. Rothstein, H. J. Farre-Kaga, K. Yasoda +5
Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) is a key actuator in DIII-D and future tokamaks that provides auxiliary heating, localized current drive for scenario development and MHD stability…
Offline Reinforcement Learning for Rotation Profile Control in Tokamaks
Rohit Sonker, Hiro Josep Farre Kaga, Jiayu Chen +5
Tokamaks remain leading candidates for achieving practical fusion energy, yet many important control problems inside these devices are still difficult or unsolved. One such challen…
TokEye: Fast Signal Extraction for Fluctuating Time Series via Offline Self-Supervised Learning From Fusion Diagnostics to Bioacoustics
Nathaniel Chen, Kouroche Bouchiat, Peter Steiner +6
Next-generation fusion facilities like ITER face a "data deluge," generating petabytes of multi-diagnostic signals daily that challenge manual analysis. We present a "signals-first…
Enabling Integrated AI Control on DIII-D: A Control System Design with State-of-the-art Experiments
Andrew Rothstein, Hiro Joseph Farre-Kaga, Jalal Butt +7
We present the design and application of a general algorithm for Prediction And Control using MAchiNe learning (PACMAN) in DIII-D. Machine learing (ML)-based predictors and control…
Interpreting AI for Fusion: an application to Plasma Profile Analysis for Tearing Mode Stability
Hiro J Farre-Kaga, Andrew Rothstein, Rohit Sonker +6
AI models have demonstrated strong predictive capabilities for various tokamak instabilities--including tearing modes (TM), ELMs, and disruptive event--but their opaque nature rais…
Control of pedestal-top electron density using RMP and gas puff at KSTAR
Minseok Kim, S. K. Kim, A. Rothstein +20
We report the experimental results of controlling the pedestal-top electron density by applying resonant magnetic perturbation with the in-vessel control coils and the main gas puf…
