Research activities:

1. Tokamak Confinement. Role of electric fields in tokamak confinement.
2. Anomalous transport mechanisms in tokamaks. Physics of transport barrier formation.
3. Auxiliary RF heating and current drive in tokamaks.
4. Wave propagation in an inhomogeneous plasma. Wave-particle interaction, diagnostics (reflectometry, enhance scattering).
5. Study of fusion relevant absolute cross-sections of charge and electronic state change processes at collisions involving ions and atoms.
6. Development of neutral particle diagnostics in hot plasma with magnetic confinement.
7. Confinement and stability of spherical tokamak plasma. (Tokamak GLOBUS-M. Ohmic heating regime. Preparation for RF heating and current drive experiments).
