I am interested in fundamental plasma physics, solar physics, astrophysics, fusion energy, hypersonic flows (aerospace and re-entry), and plasma based propulsion for space exploration. 

 

On the theoretical side, my research uses fluid and kinetic theries to study plasmas and fluids e.g. hydrodynamic, MHD, multifluid plasma, kinetic theory. On the computational side, my research uses several modelling paradigms (finite-volume, finite-element, finite-difference), high-performance computing, data-analysis, software development.
