Research

My research interests mainly focus on:

  1. Kinetic modeling of plasma flow/physics, applications include: spacecraft electric propulsion modeling, space plasma turbulence/instability, low temperature plasma devices.
  2. Computational plasma physics: development of grid-based Vlasov method algorithm and code.
  3. High-performance computing.
