About Me
My name is Chen Cui (in Chinese, 崔忱) and I am a Ph.D. candidate in Astronautical Engineering at University of Southern California. I am advised by Prof. Joseph Wang and I am currently working on the numerical modeling of plasma flows.
I graduated from Shenyuan Honors College of Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, BUAA). I received my Bachelor of Engineering(B.E.) degree in Aerospace Engineering in June 2017. I was an exchange student at TU Dresden in Germany in 2016-2017 winter sememster.
My research interests mainly focus on:
- Kinetic studies of plasma flow/physics, applications include: electric propulsion modeling, space plasma turbulence/instability.
- Computational physics: development of grid-based vlasov solver.
- High-performance computing.
