Professor Allain will present the invited talk: Challenges and strategies to experimental validation of multi-scale nuclear fusion PMI computational modeling at the 2014 Conference on Models and Data for Plasma-Material Interaction in Fusion Devices organized by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Trieste, Italy) in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA, Vienna, Austria). The conference will take place November 03-07, 2014 at the ICTP in Miramare, Trieste, Italy.

The ICTP-IAEA conference will bring together researchers from fusion energy science and materials science in order to review advances in computational studies of plasma-material interaction processes and evolution of material microstructure in fusion devices, including effects of radiation damage and with special interest in hydrogen (tritium) trapping and transport in wall material.
