Projects are supported by both government and commercial partners to further the application and knowledge of plasma physics.
Our primary objective is to study plasma material interactions relevant to fusion, semiconductors, and plasma manufacturing through a combination of computational and experimental means. The Center currently incorporates 6 faculty members, 3 post-doctoral students, and over 30 graduate and undergraduate students. Please contact us - David Ruzic ([email protected]) if you are interested in working in or with the Center.
