Garland Group

Through a range of theoretical and computational methods we have a great interest in modeling electron transport and plasmas, from low-temperature to MCF plasmas. Examples of model techniques include fluid/conservation equation models for electron and plasma transport, collisional-radiative modeling, and kinetic equation modeling. Particular focus is paid to trying to employ the appropriate atomic physics data in simulations and models. Recently, physically-based deep learning and uncertainty quantification methods have been explored.
