  Self-consistent theory of plasma-antenna coupling in the ICR range: simulation and design
• Theory and Numerical Simulation:
  Laser-plasma interaction (stimulated Raman scattering)
  Beat-wave accerelators
  Gyrokinetic codes for drift wave instabilities
• Non linear dynamics, chaos, and turbulence: (experiments and theory)
  Control of chaos and turbulence in extended systems
  Characterization of turbulence and transport in fusion plasmas
  Drift waves turbulence: experiment in the linear device Mirabelle; Global modes in weakly ionized magnetized plasma
  Asymptotic theory of non linear dynamical systems: quasi-particles; adiabatic invariants, and turbulence.
