Research direction

My research spans atomistic to macroscale investigations of multiphysics phenomena, using theoretical and computational approaches. Areas of interest include warm dense matter (WDM) and complex (dusty) plasmas, nanoparticles in reacting flows, and electromagnetic interactions in molecules and nanostructures.

Current research

My main current projects are: (i) relativistic electron transport in WDM plasmas (Oxford); and (ii) formation and growth of nanoparticles in complex plasmas (Caltech).
