SUMMARY:DESC: an Efficient and Approachable Tool for Stellarator Optimizat
 ion and Design
DESCRIPTION:Dario Panici (Princeton University); Rory Conlin (Institute fo
 r Research in Electronics and Applied Physics, University of Maryland); Da
 niel Dudt (Thea Energy); Yigit Gunsur Elmacioglu and Lee Kadz (Princeton U
 niversity); and Egemen Kolemen (Princeton University, Princeton Plasma Phy
 sics Lab)\n\nThis talk will cover the design choices underpinning DESC and
  how they were informed by the needs of stellarator optimization, performa
 nce, and user-friendliness, including the numerical methods and bases used
 , as well as the use of JAX for automatic differentiation and GPU utilizat
 ion. Some recent features implemented to aid in the exploration of the ste
 llarator landscape will then be presented, including novel approaches to t
 he equilibrium and stellarator optimization problems.\n\nDomain: Physics, 
 Computational Methods and Applied Mathematics\n\nSession Chairs: Florian H
 indenlang (Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics); Stephan Brunner (EPFL
 ); and Eric Sonnendrücker (Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Techni
 cal University of Munich)\n\n
