Research Interests
Analytical theory and numerical simulation of plasma physics, including both quantum and classical plasmas.
Quantum plasmas, including high energy density physics related to ion-beam-driven inertial confinement fusion, and Warm Dense Matter (WDM), using Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) models with a combination of linear analytical theory and nonlinear numerical simulation.
Classical plasmas, including Tokamak start-up processes in magnetic confinement fusion, micro-plasmas in low-temperature plasmas, dielectric barrier discharge, capacitively coupled plasmas, and gas breakdown problems, mainly using Particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo (PIC/MC) models.
Publications
Has published over 90 papers as the first author or corresponding author in high-level international journals such as Plasma Sources Science and Technology and the Journal of Applied Physics.
