The Center for Plasma in the Laboratory and Astrophysics is located within the Department of Physics at the University of Wisconsin, and is a Center of the College of Letters and Sciences.
The center supports a diverse set of plasma physics research activities that involve experimental, theoretical, and computational physics efforts. Major research projects include the development of magnetic confinement for fusion plasmas and investigation of fundamental physics processes in astrophysical plasmas. The center provides a supportive environment for graduate and undergraduate research at the leading edge of plasma physics research.
If you are an undergraduate interested in working for the CPLA, you can find more information here.
The research is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences, and the National Science Foundation.
