Research activities:
Theory and simulation of anomalous and turbulent interaction of radio-frequency and laser beams with fusion plasmas. Nonlinear waves and solitons in magnetized plasmas.

Relativistic fluid and particle in cell simulations of ultra-intense laser plasmas for fast ignition ICF and X-ray applications. Complexity and self-organization in fusion plasmas.

Theoretical studies of RF wave (LH and EC) plasma heating and current drive: ray tracing in tokamak plasma, power deposition profiles, wave absorption and emission in fully relativistic plasmas, etc.

Fokker-Planck and Monte Carlo simulation of heating and transport phenomena.

Experiments on electron cyclotron (EC) plasma heating (18GHz, 20kW CW) and confinement of charged particles in superconducting magnetic mirror (B = 1T, R = 2) with hexapolar radial symmetry and production of highly charged heavy ions (under construction). Research and development of electron-ion sources.

Applied cryogenics: liquid helium cryostats, transferlines, current leads and superconducting magnets.

Investigations of structural and mechanical properties during material interaction with different energetic beams (ions, laser and microparticles). Determination of sputtering and surface topography of thin films and hard coatings deposited in vacuum.

Fusion neutronics. Gamma ray and neutron Monte Carlo transport simulations.

Fusion safety and environmental studies.
