Working With PPPL

Substantial physics, engineering, and technological efforts are required to build,
operate and conduct research on magnetic fusion devices. Here are some ways that
organizations and individuals can work with the Laboratory.

Collaborations:
The Laboratory encourages collaborations with US and International research
organizations (laboratories, universities, etc.). This can be accomplished by
individuals working on one of our projects, our scientists participating on a research
project at another institution or DOE granting funds for an organization to build
hardware and incorporate it into one of PPPL’s projects. Funding opportunities for
DOE sponsored collaborations can be found at: http://science.energy.gov/funding-opportunities/
Individuals interested in collaborations can contact the individuals
listed as leaders for the individual projects shown on the PPPL organization chart.
Individuals can also forward requests to the Deputy Director for Science via email to:
caustin@pppl.gov

Research, Work for Others, CRADAs:
PPPL has unique facilities and capabilities (vacuum, mechanics and materials science,
electronics, computer technology, cyro, large test cells, and high-voltage power
systems). By law the Laboratory cannot compete with industry, however if you
have a unique project that might be helped by the Laboratory’s capabilities, please
contact our Technology Transfer group
Information regarding licensing some of our technologies can also be found under
our Technology Transfer page.

Procurement:
PPPL procures materials and services. Opportunities for bidders are posted on the
Laboratory’s Procurement page 

Student Research, Internships and Graduate Programs
If you are a student interested in plasma physics graduate work, please see the
