Research Interests

My research focuses on computational and theoretical plasma physics. Plasma science presents formidable theoretical challenges, and my work contributes to advancing both theoretical models and numerical methods. In particular, my research has emphasized laser-plasma interactions, astrophysical shocks, and laser-matter interactions. By bridging theoretical/numerical models with laboratory experiments, I aim to advance our understanding of plasma behavior in a variety of physical contexts.
