Research Interests:

My research is in plasma and accelerator physics, especially as analyzed by nonlinear dynamics and advanced computational methods (massively parallel, object oriented). I'm working on applications to accelerator lattices and instabilities, advanced acceleration concepts, transport in fusion plasma confinement systems, plasma turbulence.
