ITER Organization
Matthias Hoelzl is currently serving as an ITER Scientist Fellow on Disruption and Runaway Electron Mitigation Theory and Simulation at the ITER Organization, a position held since September 2023. In addition, Matthias has been with Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik since March 2010, where responsibilities include Group Leader for non-linear MHD and Senior Researcher, focusing on the development and application of non-linear MHD codes for large-scale instabilities in tokamak plasmas, alongside supervising PhD students and Postdocs. Previously, Matthias worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher, contributing to the development of non-linear MHD codes and their coupling to a resistive wall model. Academic qualifications include a Dr. rer. nat. in Physics and a Master's degree in Physics, both from the Technical University of Munich, attained in 2010 and 2006 respectively.

ITER is an international, large-scale scientific collaboration intended to prove the viability of fusion as an energy source, and to collect data that will contribute substantially toward the design and operation of the subsequent first electricity-producing fusion power plants. To achieve this goal, seven Members (China, European Union, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the United States) have joined forces to build the ITER Tokamak: the world’s largest fusion device. The seven Members signed the ITER Agreement in 2006, and have agreed to share in every aspect of the project: science, engineering, procurement, financing, staffing, intellectual property, etc. The ITER Project is based in Saint-Paul Lez Durance, in the south of France, where the ITER facility is currently under construction.
